Configuring System Information

ProSafe M5300 Switch

To configure a DHCPv6 Pool:

1. From the Pool Name field, select Create and enter name for the Pool to be created. To

modify information for an existing DHCPv6 pool, select the name of the pool to

configure.

2. If you are configuring a new DHCPv6 pool, specify a unique name for the pool in the Pool

Name field.

3. Click the DNS Server Addresses field to expand the field, and enter the IPv6 address for

one or more DNS servers.

4. Click the Domain Name field to expand the field, and specify one or more DNS domain

server names for the pool. Each name may contain up to 255 alphanumeric characters.

5. Use APPLY to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take

effect immediately.

6. Use DELETE to delete the pool selected in the Pool Name field.

DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation Configuration

With the larger address space inherent to IPv6, addresses within a network can be allocated

more effectively in a hierarchical fashion. DHCPv6 introduces the notion of prefix delegation

as described in RFC 3633 as a way for routers to centralize and delegate IP address

assignment.

DHCPv6 clients may request multiple IPv6 prefixes. Also, DHCPv6 clients may request

specific IPv6 prefixes. If the configured DHCPv6 pool contains the specific prefix that a

DHCPv6 client requests, then that prefix will be delegated to the client. Otherwise, the first

available IPv6 prefix within the configured pool will be delegated to the client.

Use the Prefix Delegation Configuration page to configure a delegated prefix for a pool. At

least one pool must be created using DHCPv6 Pool Configuration before a delegated prefix

can be configured.

To display the DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation Configuration page, click System > Services >

DHCPv6 Server> DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation Configuration. A screen similar to the

following displays.

To configure the Prefix Delegation information:

1. Use Pool Name to select the Pool Name.

2. Specify the Prefix and Prefix Length of the delegated IPv6 prefix in the appropriate fields.

3. In the DUID field, specify the client's unique DUID value.

4. In the Client Name field, specify the client's name, which is useful for logging or tracing only.

It may be up to 31 alphanumeric characters.
