Multiple DHCPv6 relay targets

As of LCOS 10.80 the DHCPv6 relay agent can be configured with several server destinations to which the relay agent sends the requests. The requests are always sent to all configured servers at the same time.

An optional IPv6 sender address can also be specified, which the relay agent uses for packets directed to the DHCPv6 server.

You can find the new settings under IPv6 > DHCPv6 > Relay agent interfaces.

Destination address
The IPv6 address of the (destination) DHCPv6 server which the relay agent is to forward DHCP requests to. The address can be either a unicast or link-local multicast address. When using a link-local multicast address, you must specify the destination interface where the DHCPv6 server is to be reached. All DHCPv6 servers and relay agents are available at the link-local multicast address "ff02::1:2".
Note: Using the parameters 2nd Destination address to 4th Destination address you can define additional server destinations.
Note: If multiple server destinations are configured, the requests are always sent to all configured servers at the same time.
Destination interface
The destination interface where the parent DHCPv6 server or the next relay agent is to be reached. This information is essential if a link-local multicast address is configured under the destination address, as link local-multicast addresses are only valid at that respective link.
Note: Using the parameters 2nd Destination interface to 4th Destination interface you can define additional server destinations.
Note: If multiple server destinations are configured, the requests are always sent to all configured servers at the same time.
Source address (optional)
Set an optional source address that the relay agent uses for packets directed to the DHCPv6 server.
