The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) is a network protocol for configuring Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes, default route, local segment MTU, and other configuration data required to operate in an IPv6 network.
In the typical case of a home network, for example, the home router uses DHCPv6 to request a network prefix from the ISP's DHCPv6 server. Once assigned, the ISP routes this network to the customer's home router and the home router starts advertising the new address space to hosts on the network, either via SLAAC or using DHCPv6.
Windows XP users can use Dibbler, an open source DHCPv6 implementation. --update: Windows XP fully supports IPv6- but NOT IPv6 DNS queries (nslookup) [30] 6.x (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1), 10 RTM-Anniversary Update: Yes [31] Yes Yes [9] No rdnssd-win32 provides an open source implementation of ND RDNSS [32] 10 Creators Update and later Yes [31] Yes Yes ...
As in IPv4, each host is represented in the DNS by two DNS records: an address record and a reverse mapping pointer record. For example, a host computer named derrick in zone example.com has the unique local address fdda:5cc1:23:4::1f. Its quad-A address record is derrick.example.com. IN AAAA fdda:5cc1:23:4::1f and its IPv6 pointer record is
Stateless configuration of routers can be achieved with a special router renumbering protocol. [20] When necessary, hosts may configure additional stateful addresses via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) or static addresses manually. Like IPv4, IPv6 supports globally unique IP addresses.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client–server architecture.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has reserved the IPv4 address block 169.254.0.0 / 16 (169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255) for link-local addressing. [1] The entire range may be used for this purpose, except for the first 256 and last 256 addresses (169.254.0.0 / 24 and 169.254.255.0 / 24), which are reserved for future use and must not be selected by a host using this dynamic ...
The deployment of IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), has been in progress since the mid-2000s. IPv6 was designed as the successor protocol for IPv4 with an expanded addressing space.
