[Dibbler] Server questions

[Daniel Barboza]

Hi,

I've been trying to assign the same IPv6 address to the same machine when
the client starts running, like the behavior we have with DHCPv4: if a
client recently received an address, for example, 10.10.x.x, when we restart
the dhcp client the same address 10.10.x.x is assigned by the server.

With dibbler, every time I start up the client a different address is
assigned, by the server, and it's interesting to me to have the same IPv6
address.

As long as I'm working with IPv6 mobility, register every IPv6 client on the
dhcpv6 server so it can assign always the same address would not be fine.
Can the dibbler-server assign the same IPv6 address for the same MAC address
/ IPv6 link address without the need of register extra parameters for each
client at server.conf file?

Another doubt I have is about address pool. Can I share an address pool with
different interface declarations? For example, with this server.conf:


iface "relay5" {
 T1 60
 T2 2000
 relay eth3
 unicast fec0:a0a:4::3
 interface-id 5678
 class {
   pool fec0:a0a:9::0/64
 }
}

iface "relay6" {
 T1 10
 T2 2000
 relay eth1
 unicast fec0:a0a:6::3
 interface-id 5678
 class {
   pool fec0:a0a:9::0/64
 }
}

iface "relay7e8" {
 T1 1000
 T2 2000
 relay eth0
 unicast fec0:a0a:2::3
 interface-id 5678
 class {
   pool fec0:a0a:9::0/64
 }

Does the pool fec0:a0a:9::0/64 being shared by all the interfaces, so no
redundant addresses could be found at any sub-network connect at these relay
interfaces?


Best regards,

Daniel
