478 Chapter 4—DHCPv6
The first step of the operation is to start the DHCPv6 server and the rtadvd daemon with
an argument of the listening interface:
server# dhcp6s ne0
server# rtadvd ne0
Now the client is ready to start:
client# ifconfig ne0 up
client# dhcp6c ne0
In this example, the interface is explicitly enabled beforehand, since the dhcp6c daemon
does not do this automatically.
Unless something is misconfigured, the client host will soon get all its necessary configura-
tion infor mation. First, it will have a global IPv6 address allocated via DHCPv6:
client% ifconfig -L ne0 inet6 ne0:
flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6
