DHCPv6 prefix delegation (266061)

Prefix delegation is now support for DHCP for IPv6 addressing. It is not practical to manually provision networks on a large scale in IPv6 networking. The DHCPv6 prefix delegation feature is used to assign a network address prefix, and automate the configuration and provisioning of the public routable addresses for the network.

Enabling the prefix delegation is done only in the CLI as in the following example:

config system interface edit “wan1”

config ipv6

set ip6-mode dhcp

set ip6-allowaccess ping

set dhcp6-prefix-delegation enable end

end

Proxy–arp extensions (250651)

The proxy-arp configuration can be extendend to an IP address range rather than a single IP address. A new setting has been added to the CLI. When configuring the proxy-arp, in addtion to setting the IP address, an end-ip address can also be set. If it is not set, the proxy-arp will be a single address as before. An example configuration using the new setting would be a follows:

config system proxy-arp edit 1

set interface “internal” set ip 192.168.1.100

set end-ip 192.168.1.102 end
