ipv6 address dhcp
This command provides support for configuring the device as a DHCPv6 client to obtain an IPv6 address from a DHCPv6 server, according to RFC 3315. The device as a DHCPv6 client also supports the Rapid Commit option. This option lets the device quickly obtain configuration parameters from the DHCP server through a rapid two-message exchange (solicit, reply), instead of the usual four-message exchange (solicit, advertise, request, reply).
Use no ipv6 address to disable this command.
Syntax
# ipv6 address dhcp [rapid-commit] # no ipv6 address
