DHCPv6 static-mapping identifier
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

hi, I've been trying for a while to get dhcpv6 to deliver static ipv6 through 'identifier', but with no luck so far, although it's pretty straingthforward according to cli.
Does anyone know if it's actually possible to use that feature?

I made sure to paste the IA_NA identifier sent by the client in vyos conf, but it doesn't care too much about it.

That said, I didn't manage to change the identifier on the client (isc-dhcp-client)

When I look directly in dhcpv6 config file in /opt/vyatta/..., I have:

host nsd-slave {
            host-identifier option dhcp6.client-id 00:a4:de:38;
            fixed-address6 2001:41d0:X:X::153;
        }

Event Timeline

Well, after packet analyze it looks like the isc-dhclient is to blame, as I see Vyos offering the matching IP two times before changing offer as client is not taking it for an answer.
