setting preferred and valid lifetimes, T1 and T2, using

[Mudric, Dusan (Dusan)]

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did check 'man dhcp-options'. There are various 'dhcp6' options but none for T1, T2, preferred and valid lifetimes. It might be that these options are not implemented, even though the RFC 3315 standard recommends them. Please let me know if these options are supported by ISC DHCPv6 client.

Regards,
Dusan.
