DHCPv6 Configuration

GWeasel
Level 1
Level 1

Hello - for reference I'm a novice with Cisco and have to mostly stumble around with command documentation

For IPv6 migration, my desire is to setup our DHCP(v6) server so that certain DHCP pools are issued through specific interfaces.  That way when looking at an IPv6 address it's easy to determine which interface it's coming from (where each interface corresponds to a physical area). Our current environment is small, with everything currently on IPv4 being non-routed and one subnet (private IP space).  Ideally, I'd like to keep the same thing with IPv6 but am willing to create more VLANs and routes if necessary.

One of my frustrations as I go through documentation is that the commands I read about simply aren't present on my switch.  The one I'm using to test with is a 2960-CG.  For example this documentation: 

IP Addressing: DHCP Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15M&T - IPv6 Access Services: Stateless DHCPv6 [Support] - Cisco

For example, `ipv6 dhcp pool` isn't even a valid command in configure mode on my switch.  Can someone help me understand why, or where the disconnect is in the command reference?  Any advice on how I could achieve what I want is welcomed as well.

not sure this works, as i remember you need to enable DHCP service

 

(config)# service dhcp

and test it  - let me review my notes.

 

Also worth checking feature :

Hello,

 

if the command 'ipv6 dhcp pool' is not available on your switch, it means you are running the wrong IOS release. As far as I recall, you need version 15.4.

Hello,

I think you need "IP Lite" version and service dhcp to be enable for it.
