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
