What does enable DHCP PD mean?
The prefix delegation feature lets a DHCP server assign prefixes chosen from a global pool to DHCP clients. The DHCP client can then configure an IPv6 address on its LAN interface using the prefix it received.

How does IPv6 prefix delegation work?
With prefix delegation, a delegating router (the BNG) delegates IPv6 prefixes to a requesting router (the CPE). The requesting router then uses the prefixes to assign global IP addresses to the devices on the subscriber LAN. The requesting router can also assign subnet addresses to subnets on the LAN.
What is IPv6 local pool?
The IPv6 local address pool for DHCP is an object that contains information about prefix configuration parameters and guidelines that govern the assignment of these prefixes to requesting routers.
What is the difference in Slaac and a DHCP server?
SLAAC automatically works with a router, while Stateless DHCPv6 gives addresses using SLAAC and extra information using DHCP. The only configuration where the server gives IPv6 addresses is the Stateful one.
What is stateless and stateful IPv6?
Stateful vs Stateless DHCPv6 In this context stateless means that no server keeps track of what addresses have been assigned by which hosts and what addresses are still available for an assignment. A stateful DHCPv6 server provides IPv6 addresses and “other information” to hosts.
How many DUIDs can each DHCPv6 client have?
By using the entire 128 bits of the DUID space in DHCPv6, there are 2128, or 340 undecillion, possible DUIDs.
Is IPv6 static or dynamic?
Similar to IPv4, IPv6 too supports both static and dynamic routing. Configuration commands for its static routing are similar to IPv4.
What is stateless DHCPv6?
A stateless DHCPv6 server provides only configuration information to hosts and does not perform any address assignment. Such a server is called “stateless” because it need not maintain any dynamic state for individual clients.
What is the purpose of Slaac and DHCPv6?
Deploying and configuring DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6) is one way to assign addresses on an IPv6-enabled network. Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is another way to assign addresses on an IPv6-enabled network.
What is the difference between stateless DHCPv6 and stateful DHCPv6?
Should I use stateless or stateful IPv6?
The stateless approach is used when a site is not concerned with the exact addresses that hosts use. However, the addresses must be unique. The addresses must also be properly routable. The stateful approach is used when a site requires more precise control over exact address assignments.
Why is DHCPv6 called stateless DHCPv6?
In this context stateless means that no server keeps track of what addresses have been assigned by which hosts and what addresses are still available for an assignment. A stateful DHCPv6 server provides IPv6 addresses and “other information” to hosts. It also keeps track of the state of each assignment.
Does IPv6 use DHCP?
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCP) enables DHCP servers to pass configuration parameters such as IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 nodes. It offers the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration flexibility.
