I was using this option on ipv4 to send some information to the host. On my host lease I have something like:
supersede vendor-encapsulated-options = "MY INFORMATION";
On the DHCP client host I can see an entry like that on the lease file:
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address XXXXX;
bla...
bla...
bla...
option vendor-encapsulated-options "MY INFORMATION";
}
So I can get this information and do actions based on it.
Setting this entry on a IPv6 host entry on the DHCPD conf I can run the server with no error but the client is not getting the information. Looking at the tcpdump output I can't see this option is sent to the client in the Advertise from the DHCP Server.
How can I send vendor specific options to an IPv6 node?

The name has changed in
IPv6
it is called nowdhcp6.vendor-opts
. In thedhcpd6.conf
file in thehost section
you must add:Depending on the client you must need to modify its config file to request it.
