Hello,
I'm trying to configure dhcpd 4.0.0b1 for stateless DHCPv6, i.e. I want
to get an address by stateless adress autoconfiguration and the IP
address of my tftp server and the bootfile name from a DHCPv6 server.
So, what I want to do is, send an information-request and get a reply
with tftp-server and a filename.
I'm a bit confused about how to configure dhcpd with the appropriate
option settings though. There are the old DHCP options, DHCPv6 options
and docsis (cable labs) dhcp options.
RFC 3736 [0] doesn't say anyting about TFTP server and filename options. Is
there really no way to do this with DHCPv6?
I found and old IETF draft "DHCPv6 Support for Remote Boot -
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-rboot-00.txt" [1] but it expired in 2003.
It would be nice if somebody could give me a hint. Any ideas?
with kind regards
Jens
