NAME

       dhcpy6d-clients.conf - clients configuration file for DHCPv6 server dhcpy6d

DESCRIPTION

       This file contains all client configuration data if these options are set in dhcpy6d.conf:

       store_config = file

       and

       store_file_config = /path/to/dhcpy6d-clients.conf

       An  alternative method to store client configuration is using database storage with SQLite
       or      MySQL      databases.       Further      details      are       available       at
       https://dhcpy6d.ifw-dresden.de/documentation/config/.

       This file follows RFC 822 style parsed by Python ConfigParser module.

       Some options allow multiple values. These have to be separated by spaces.

CLIENT SECTIONS

       [host_name]
              Every  client is configured in one section. It might have multiple attributes which
              are necessary depending  on  the  configured  identification  and  general  address
              settings from dhcpy6d.conf.

CLIENT ATTRIBUTES

       Every  client  section  contains  several attributes.  hostname and class are mandatory. A
       third one should match at  least  one  of  the  identification  attributes  configured  in
       dhcpy6d.conf.

   MANDATORY CLIENT ATTRIBUTE class
       Both of the following 2 attributes are necessary.

       class = <class>
              Every  client  needs a class. If a client is identified, it depends from its class,
              which addresses it will get.  This relation is configured in dhcpy6d.conf.

   SEMI-MANDATORY CLIENT ATTRIBUTES
       Depending on identification  in  dhcpy6d.conf  clients  need  to  have  the  corresponding
       attributes. At least one of them is needed.

       mac = <mac-address>
              The MAC address of the Link Local Address of the client DHCPv6 request.

       duid = <duid>
              The  DUID  of  the client which comes with the DHCPv6 request message. No hex and \
              needed, just like  for example 000100011234567890abcdef1234.

       hostname = <hostname>
              The client hostname. It will be used for dynamic DNS update.

   EXTRA ATTRIBUTES
       These attributes do not serve for identification of a client but for  appropriate  address
       generation.

       id = <id>
              id  has  to  be a hex number in the range 0-FFFF. The client ID from this directive
              will be inserted in the  address  pattern  of  category  id  instead  of  the  $id$
              placeholder.

       address = <address> [<address> ...]
              Addresses  configured here will be sent to a client in addition to the ones it gets
              due to its class.  Might be useful for some extra static address definitions.

EXAMPLES

       The next lines contain some example client definitions:

       [client1]
       hostname = client1
       mac = 01:01:01:01:01:01
       class = valid_client

       [client2]
       hostname = client2
       mac = 02:02:02:02:02:02
       class = invalid_client

       [client3]
       hostname = client3
       duid = 000100011234567890abcdef1234
       class = valid_client
       address = 2001:cb8::babe:1

       [client4]
       hostname = client4
       mac = 04:04:04:04:04:04
       id = 1234
       class = valid_client
