Full Options

This is an example config file including many available options. It might not represent the latest set of features because there where added more over the years:
# dhcpy6d example configuration
#
# The first section [dhcpy6d] contains general options.
# All sections whose name starts with "address_" are address
# definitions. These are used in the sections named something
# like "class_". These containwith definitions for classes of clients.
# The membership of clients of a class is defined in the client
# configuration from client config file or config database.
# Addresses contain various properties best seen on examples
# down below. Classes contain extra properties like nameservers
# for clients and filters.
# There is one predefined class: "default". If not set in a
# [class_default] section all clients which have no configuration
# or match no filter are automatically of this class. If
# [class_default] is not set the address "default" is used which
# also can be defined in an [address_default] section.

# GENERAL OPTIONS

# Server interface - multiple interfaces have to be separated by spaces.

# Server DUID - if not set there will be one generated every
# time dhcpy6d starts. This might cause trouble for Windows
# clients because they go crazy about the changed server DUID.

# Server preference is 255 as default.

# Configuration of clients can be stored in text file or in MySQL or
# SQLite database. See delivered config.sql and volatile.sql for
# database schemes.
# Use for small environment could be to get config from text file
# and store leases in SQLite database. Larger setups might have use
# for config and volatile data in MySQL database.
# Store config type is one of "file", "mysql", "sqlite" or "none".
# if "none" no client configuration is used.

# IA_NA/IA_TA OPTIONS

# These lifetimes are also used as default for addresses which

# DEFINITION OF AVAILABLE ADDRESSES

# Addresses are defined by patterns of static and variable parts.
#
# There are different categories: "random", "range", "id", "mac":
#
# $random64$ - calculate random 64 bit interface identifier address
# part. maybe future a version will allow shorter random
# $range$ - use range addresses - only in the last octet of address
# $id$ - if configuration of clients contain some kind of ID 
# it can be used for one octet
# $mac$ - puts MAC address into 3 octets - works only on local subnet
#
# Categories and variables used in pattern must match!
# The two options every address definition must have are category
# and pattern.

# 1st Example: definition of a normal locally and globally connected
# valid client

# a globally unique address
[address_global] 
# For privacy a global address might better be randomly created.
category = random
# This pattern results in an address like this:
# 2001:0db8:0000:0000:d3f6:834a:03d5:139c.
pattern = 2001:db8::$random64$
# IA type is mostly non-temporary as default so it is not necessary
# to declare here.
ia_type = na
# Lifetimes can be set in seconds for every defined address.
preferred_lifetime = 32400
valid_lifetime = 43200

# A unique local address
[address_local_valid]
# For easier internal management put MAC address into address.
category = mac
# Given MAC 01:02:03:04:05:06 this pattern results in an address
# like this: fd01:db8:0000:0000:babe:0102:0304:0506.
pattern = fd01:db8::babe:$mac$
# Update these addresses in Bind DNS - defaults to "no"

# Zone to update.

# Reverse zone to update
dns_rev_zone = 1.0.d.f.ip6.arpa

# Define a class for normal valid clients.
[class_valid_client]
# These clients get 2 Addresses, one internal ULA and one global.
# Different addresses should be separated by spaces.
# Note that "address_" from address definition section is omitted
# here!

# filter_hostname

# with "windows" will get an address of range
# fd01:db8::beef:0:0:1000 to fd01:db8::beef:0:01fff
filter_hostname = windows.*

# 4th Example: default addresses for all unknown clients

# It should be enough if address_default is defined, only if
# unknown clients should get
# extra nameservers etc. a class_default has to be set.

category = mac
