Configure the SA DHCP IPv6 server for SA Provisioning

The DHCP Network Configuration Tool for IPv6 is installed with the Boot Server. Perform the following steps to configure networks for provisioning:

  1. Log in as root to the server running the Boot Server.

    (Optional) Make a backup copy of the configuration file using the following commands:

    cd /etc/opt/opsware/dhcpd

    cp dhcpd6_subnets.conf dhcpd6_subnets.conf.orig

  2. Run the DHCP Network Configuration Tool with the following command:

    /opt/opsware/dhcpd/sbin/dhcpd6tool --help

  3. To add a new network or modify an existing network, it is mandatory that you provide a network address and prefix. Optional parameters: DNS list and IPv6 address range.

    If the DNS server list is not provided, it is detected automatically by the configuration file: /etc/resolv.conf.

    If an IPv6 address range is not provided, it is detected automatically based on the current network address and prefix parameters, and a chunk from that address space will be used.

    For example:

    /opt/opsware/dhcpd/sbin/dhcpd6tool --restart add fc00:508:1:0::0/64 -i fc00:508:1:0:666::/120 -n fc00:302:1::1

    This example shows:

    • Network address and prefix: fc00:508:1:0::0/64

    • IPv6 address range: fc00:508:1:0:666::/120

    • DNS server address: fc00:302:1::1
