DHCPv6 op 79 - Client Link-Layer Address Option

RouterOS General
1

Hello, I’m not able to find any documentation about DHCP relay/server option 79 - Client Link-Layer Address Option. Are plans to implement this function? RFC is from 2013 and the biggest company have this feature implemented (juniper, hpe, cisco,…).


https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6939

Options looks useful and not very hard to implement.

Thanks. Regards Petr

Still waiting for RFC 6939.

Without this, IPv6 is unmanageable in RouterOS.

Some client/home-users routers are in a very broken state and they somehow re-generate their DUID all the time, causing /56 pool to be exhausted in 1 hour or less.

Did you not see? I believe they have just added it: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/routeros-v7-limited-beta-available/133085/1

That’s only for DHCPv6 Relay, which is not helpful at all for most people. I just want to make DHCPv6 reservations based on link-layer adress.

Also it’s only RouterOS 7, which is beta, and it’s not for my platform (powerpc, RB1100AHx2).

It is available for powerpc since beta 3, but I wouldn’t recommend using it in production.
