DHCPv6 allow multiple IP address for host reservation
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Summary

Allow multiple IP Addresses for DHCPv6 host reservation.

Use case

Unlike in DHCPv4, DHCPv6 can have multiple IPv6 addresses and prefixes for host reservation. This is useful, and even necessary in some cases.

Per Kea documentation, DHCPv6 allows a single client to lease multiple addresses and multiple prefixes at the same time. Therefore ip-addresses and prefixes are plural and are actually arrays. When the client sends multiple IA options (IA_NA or IA_PD), each reserved address or prefix is assigned to an individual IA of the appropriate type.

Additional information

Allow multiple set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name FOO subnet ... <myhost> ipv6-address and set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name FOO subnet ... <myhost> ipv6-prefix.
