Hello, I'm using FreeRadius 3.0.7 and I want to perform a DHCPv6 but ''arr2036'' told me that FreeRadius doesn't support it.But it works with PPP and supports IPv6 address and prefix attributes types. So, my question is, if I change the source code of freeradius dhcp, will it work ?Because I saw that in the code, there are attributes of DHCP and also his message-types, so I think it's possible to add/change these attributes by those of IPv6 but how ? I saw there is a dhcp.c and dhcp.h file code but I only see dhcp.h in my config. Ps: Sorry for english faults, I'm French.Simon Mesnage, student in N&T at this UIT of Caen, France
Hi,

PPP delegation is done differently. DHCPv6 requires additional code - basically the server is currently able to handle, process and deal with DHCP (v4) packets - to do the same with DHCPv6 will need additional code. as one of the main developers of FreeRADIUS, 'arr2036' knows what he is talking about what you are currently doing would be like me wondering why FreeRADIUS doesnt work with TACACS+ packets when I've added a tacacs_plus config to my virtual server :/ alan
Thanks for your reply but I have other questions. Does DHCPv6 will be implement in futur updates ? Or we must go in the code for now?Because I saw that there is some IPv6 code in 'dhcpclient.c' but there is DHCP message type but not DHCPv6 message so maybe you work on it ? And in 'dhcp.c' and 'dhcp.h' nothing is declare for IPv6, so, it's in this part we must add code ? Regards,Simon Mesnage

Good patches are pretty much always welcome for improving functionality... You probably want to start in src/modules/proto_dhcp/.

That's right Matthew, I will look on these files but I'm a simple student and not a proBut I agree about waiting good patches to deploy this feature. Regards,Simon Mesnage

I guess the answer is 'yes' coupled with a second answer of 'yes' - if you code in support then hopefully it will be implemented in future updates. alan

DHCPv4 and v6 are dissimilar enough that the v4 code can't just be modified to implement v6, there'd need to be a proto_dhcpv6. -Arran
