The opening line is somewhat misleading, even if in some sense it may be technically correct.
> DHCPv6 does not have a host-name option to send the client hostname to register with the DHCP server. See option 39 OPTION_CLIENT_FQDN, and RFC 4704 "The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) Client Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Option". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to isc-dhcp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991360 Title: isc-dhcp-client does not send hostnames in DHCPv6 by default Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: DHCPv6 does not have a host-name option to send the client hostname to register with the DHCP server. There are several potential options here: 1) Use the same "magic" to insert the hostname via fqdn.fqdn (i.e. "send fqdn.fqdn "<hostname>";" This should work with DHCPv4 as well. 2) Backport the gethostname() functionality from DHCP 4.2. 3) Upgrade to isc-dhcp-client 4.2. Perhaps some of these are more appropriate to consider for the Q cycle. Personally, I think option 1 (implementing "<hostname>" magic) for fqdn.fqdn would be the least intrusive. As issues go, this is admittedly minor.
