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 MySQLor
       PostgreSQL databases.  Further details are available at https://dhcpy6d.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.

       Both of the following 2 attributes are necessary - the class and at least one of the others.

   Mandatory client attribute 'class'
       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, formatted  like  the  most
              usual 01:02:03:04:05:06.

       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 non-FQDN hostname. It will be used for dynamic DNS updates.

   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.

       prefix = <prefix> [<prefix> ...]
              Prefix configured here will be sent to client in addition to the ones it gets due to its class.

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:db8::babe:1

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

       [client5]
       hostname = client5
       mac = 01:01:01:01:01:02
       class = valid_client
       prefix = 2001:db8::/48
