Overview
|

|
|
********
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv6 is a network management protocol
|
||
|
|
used on IPv6 based networks. A DHCPv6 server dynamically assigns an IPv6 address
|
||
|
|
and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they
|
||
|
|
can communicate with other IP networks.
|
||
|
|
See this
|
||
|
|
`DHCPv6 Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCPv6>`_
|
||
|
|
for a detailed overview of how DHCPv6 works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that Zephyr only supports DHCPv6 client functionality.
