Re: IPV6 Binding Database

Atrisflex · ‎08-06-2019

I've got DHCPv6 running on my ASR1001-x and it seems to be working except my dhcp database binding keeps failing. Here's the config and show results.

ASR.JP.1001X-01#show run | i database
ipv6 dhcp database bootflash write-delay 120

ASR.JP.1001X-01#show ipv6 dhcp binding

ASR.JP.1001X-01#show ipv6 dhcp database
Database agent bootflash:

last written at never, write timer expires in 107 seconds
last read at never

failed read times 0
successful write times 0
failed write times 57

The Database file is created in the bootflash: but the file size is 0 bytes.

Any Ideas?

Bumping topic.

Hi there,

Have you tried specifying the file as well as the agent location:

!
ipv6 dhcp database bootflash:/dhcp.db write-delay 120
!

cheers,

Seb.

Still failing to write..

ASR.JP.1001X-01#show run | i database
ipv6 dhcp database bootflash:/dhcp.db write-delay 120

ASR.JP.1001X-01#show bootflash: | i dhcp
62 0 Aug 26 2019 13:19:41 +00:00 /bootflash/dhcp.db

ASR.JP.1001X-01#show ipv6 dhcp database
Database agent bootflash:/dhcp.db:
write delay: 120 seconds, transfer timeout: 300 seconds
last written at never, write timer expires in 97 seconds
last read at never
successful read times 0
failed read times 0
successful write times 0
failed write times 9

It is interesting that it can create the file on flash, but then fails to write to it.

Can you enable debug dhcp , and share 5 minutes of output whilst a DHCP lease is being given out. This should hopefully reveal why the process is unable to write to file.

cheers,

Seb.
