Re: [smartos-discuss] DHCPv6 Client Prefix Delegation

[Jorge Schrauwen]

Hi Bill, 

From experience, LX zones use the native dhcpclient and network
configuration tools from /native.

Re: [smartos-discuss] DHCPv6 Client Prefix Delegation

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for the info. I was able to include “addrconf” to the list of ips for my 
nic and got a v6 address from my upstream provider (I’m using a SmartOS zone as 
an IPv4 router for my enclave). If SmartOS supported PD, I could get a network 
allocation and then be able to assign routable v6 addresses to all of my 
clients. PD uses DHCP but it’s not strictly about configuring a given 
interface, so I can see the rationale why it isn’t supported.

Thinking out loud.. I wonder if LX zones use the illumos dhcpagent or the one 
typically used by the LX distro in use? Perhaps some more research is in order.

Best,

Bill
