Subject: How are you doing DHCPv6 ?
I am wondering how people out there are using DHCPv6 to handle assigning pr=
efixes to end users.
We have a requirement for it to be a redundant server that is centrally loc=
ated. DHCPv6 will be relayed from each customer access segment.
We have been looking at using ISC dhcpd, as that is what we use for v4. How=
ever, it currently does not support any redundancy. It also does not do ver=
y much useful logging for DHCPv6 requests. Certainly not enough to keep tra=
ck of users and devices.
So, my questions are:
How are you doing DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation?
What software are you using?
When DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation seems to be about the only way to deploy=
IPv6 to end users in a generic device-agnostic fashion, I am wondering why=
it is so difficult to find a working solution.
thanks,
-Randy
