Hello everyone.
Recently I've encountered a problem in the following ipv6 dhcp deployment:
(ipv6 dhcp server) ----------- (client router) ----------- (windows host)
The task was to use existing ipv6 dhcp server which was built on linux machine and configured for prefix delegation. In this case router is in the role of requesting router with the follwing configuration:
interface FastEthernet0/1 (interface to dhcp server in client mode)
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
ipv6 address 2010:AB8:0:1::2/64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 dhcp client pd from_isp
interface FastEthernet0/0 (interface to client machines)
ip address 87.253.34.15 255.255.255.224
duplex auto
speed auto
ipv6 address from_isp ::1:0:0:0:1/64
ipv6 enable
Client router has received prefix: show ipv6 dhcp int
FastEthernet0/1 is in client mode
State is OPEN
Renew will be sent in 00:01:58
List of known servers:
Reachable via address: 2010:AB8:0:1::1
DUID: 00010001001BD5EF900202000000
Preference: 0
Configuration parameters:
IA PD: IA ID 0x00040001, T1 120, T2 120
Prefix: 2001:DB8:1200::/48
preferred lifetime 300, valid lifetime 600

DNS server: 2010:AB8:0:1::1
Domain name: example.com
Prefix name: from_isp
Rapid-Commit: disabled
Output from show ipv6 general-prefix :
IPv6 Prefix from_isp, acquired via DHCP PD
2001:DB8:1200::/48 Valid lifetime 550, preferred lifetime 250
FastEthernet0/0 (Address command)
Result: windows machine has received prefix, used autoconfiguration to built host part of address, installed default route, but! there is no any dns information installed.
What can be done to resolve this problem? Can we influence on what type (stateful/stateless) dhcp client router uses for windows machine in case of prefix delegation? Can the delegated prefix be used in dhcp server pool on client router?
thanks in advance.
