Hello, by default, DHCPv6 dhclient creates DUID-LL if it is running in stateless mode (-6 -S) and doesn't write it into leases file, most likely because the DUID-LL is always generated the same. It's however possible to specify DUID to be of type LLT instead of LL with '-D LLT'. Rfc 3315 says that: 'Clients and servers using this type of DUID MUST store the DUID-LLT in stable storage.' That's not fulfiled in this case (-6 -S -D LLT), because it's generated each time again. It's not a big deal because the server doesn't store any info about 'stateless' clients, so it doesn't matter that the DUID-LLT is different each time. But there's a TAHI test which tests this, i.e. that DUID-LLT is still the same even in stateless mode. It's a test DHCP_CONF.7.1.9, part B. https://www.ipv6ready.org/docs/Phase2_DHCPv6_Conformance_Latest.pdf With regards, Jiri Popelka Red Hat, inc.
