dhcp6relay acts as an intermediary to deliver DHCPv6 messages between clients and servers, and is on the
same link as a client. dhcp6relay needs command line arguments interface..., which specifies the list
of links accommodating clients.
Options supported by dhcp6relay are:
-d Print debugging messages.
-D Even more debugging information is printed.
-f Foreground mode (useful when debugging). Although dhcp6relay usually prints warning, debugging,
or error messages to syslog(8), it prints the messages to standard error if this option is
specified.
-bboundaddr
Specifies the source address to relay packets to servers (or other agents).
-Hhoplim
Specifies the hop limit of DHCPv6 Solicit messages forwarded to servers.
-rrelay-IF
Specifies the interface on which messages to servers are sent. When omitted, the same interface
as interface will be used. When multiple interface are specified, this option cannot be omitted.
-sserveraddr
Specifies the DHCPv6 server address to relay packets to. If not specified, packets are relayed
to ff05::1:3 (All DHCPv6 servers).
-Sscript-file
Specifies the script file to be executed when dhcp6relay receives a RELAY-REPLY message from a
DHCPv6 server. Further detail of the script file syntax is available in dhcp6c(8)
-ppid-file
Use pid-file to dump the process ID of dhcp6relay.
