NAME
       dhcp6relay -- DHCPv6 relay agent

SYNOPSIS
       dhcp6relay   [-Ddf]   [-b   boundaddr]	[-H   hoplim]	[-r  relay-IF]
		  [-s serveraddr] [-S script-file] [-p pid-file] interface ...

DESCRIPTION
       dhcp6relay acts as an intermediary to deliver DHCPv6  messages  between
       clients	and  servers, and is on	the same link as a client.  dhcp6relay
       needs command line arguments interface ..., which specifies the list of
       links accommodating clients.

       Options supported by dhcp6relay are:

       -d      Print debugging messages.

       -D      Even more debugging information is printed.

       -f      Foreground mode (useful when debugging).	  Although  dhcp6relay
	       usually	 prints	 warning,  debugging,  or  error  messages  to
	       syslog(8), it prints the	messages to standard error if this op-
	       tion is specified.

       -b boundaddr
	       Specifies the source address to relay packets  to  servers  (or
	       other agents).

       -H hoplim
	       Specifies the hop limit of DHCPv6 Solicit messages forwarded to
	       servers.

       -r relay-IF
	       Specifies  the interface	on which messages to servers are sent.
	       When omitted, the same interface	as  interface  will  be	 used.
	       When  multiple  interface  are specified, this option cannot be
	       omitted.

       -s serveraddr
	       Specifies the DHCPv6 server address to relay  packets  to.   If
	       not  specified,	packets	 are  relayed to ff05::1:3 (All	DHCPv6
	       servers).

       -S script-file
	       Specifies the script file to be executed	 when  dhcp6relay  re-
	       ceives a	RELAY-REPLY message from a DHCPv6 server.  Further de-
	       tail of the script file syntax is available in dhcp6c(8)

       -p pid-file
	       Use pid-file to dump the	process	ID of dhcp6relay.

FILES
       /var/run/dhcp6relay.pid	is  the	 default file that contains pid	of the
				currently running dhcp6relay.
