Cisco has been shipping DHCPv6 server support in Cisco Network Registrar since January 2006. It supports stateless, stateful, and PD.
And, of course we have various degrees of DHCPv6 support in IOS (relay, PD client/server) depending on the release. - Bernie -----Original Message----- From: Iljitsch van Beijnum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 8:01 PM To: DE JUAN HUARTE FEDERICO Cc: IPV6 Mailing List Subject: Re: Results: Straw poll: autoconf vs manual conf On 28-sep-2007, at 20:00, DE JUAN HUARTE FEDERICO wrote: > If a network administrator decides to set the M bit meaning that it > intends to always manage the address configuration, can he expect > all hosts to support the DHCP functionality? > In other words, is DHCP a MUST implement for IPv6 hosts? Note that these are separate questions. The latter has already been answered. As to the former: no, it's certainly not true that all hosts support DHCP. And the ones that do, may support one, two or three of the following capabilities: - other configuration (such as DNS server addresses) - prefix delegation - address assignment I would be interested in hearing about anyone actually using DHCPv6 address assignment. Two years ago when I wrote my book about IPv6 I couldn't find any servers or clients that supported this. I gather this has changed, but I'm not sure to what degree. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
