[Dibbler-devel] help

Thank you for your immediate response.
 
Perhaps, I don't need prefix delegation feature of the dibbler. Actually I want to know the "prefix Length" of the IPv6 address delegated by the Dibbler server. Currently I'm hard coding the prefix length as 64 in my client code. Hence wanted to know if I can get the length (like subnet mask in IPv4) too from server. In the config file i could not set the length in pool. Please have a look at my config file contents below,
 
log-level 7
log-mode short
iface "Local Area Connection" {
# clients should renew every half an hour
 rapid-commit yes
 T1 1800
 T2 2000
 prefered-lifetime 3600
 valid-lifetime 7200
 class {
   pool 2000::1-2000::ff
 }
 option dns-server 2009::100,2009::101
 option domain example.com, testTosh.example.com
}

where as in Linux Dhcpv6 server config file we can mention the length too along with address range as below,
interface eth0 {
 server-preference 255;
 renew-time 60;
 rebind-time 90;
 prefer-life-time 130;
 valid-life-time 200;
 allow rapid-commit;
 option dns_servers 2002:db8:0:f101::1 agni2k3.com;
 link AAA {
                allow unicast;
                send unicast;
  range 2002:db8:0:f101::1000 to 2002:db8:0:f101::ffff/64;
         prefix 2002:db8:0:f101::/64;
  };
 };

Please let me know if my understanding is correct. And do let me know does the server gives the prefix length or not!!
 
Thank you.
 
Regards
Aparna

Offical dibbler does not support prefix delegation yet. But you can
download unofficial version, which does support it:

http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/snapshots/2007-01-08-prefix-delegation-and-docs

See User's guide (also in the same directory), especially section
dedicated to features.
