Enabling DHCPv6 logging on the DHCPv6 server

About DHCPv6 server logging

The DHCPv6 logging feature enables the DHCPv6 server to generate DHCPv6 logs and send them to the information center. The information helps administrators locate and solve problems. For information about the log destination and output rule configuration in the information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Restrictions and guidelines

As a best practice, disable this feature if the log generation affects the device performance or reduces the address and prefix allocation efficiency. For example, this situation might occur when a large number of clients frequently come online or go offline.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Enable DHCPv6 logging.
