Bug Report from www.isc.org: Name: Indy Email: fireballiso@yahoo.com Software Version: dhcp-4.3.5 OS: Linux (Gentoo Hardened) Subject:Feature request - allow specification of IPv6 prefix size in delegation Bug Detail =========== Hi! Will you please add an option for the client to be able to include the size of the IPv6 prefix in the delegation request? I add a patch to get this with every version I can, since it allows me to get the full size of the prefix offering allowed by my ISP, rather than the default /64.

Hello Indy: You'll be pleased to learn that we have added a command line argument, --prefix-len-hint, to dhclient that instructs the client to use the specified value as the prefix length hint when soliciting prefixes. This change will be available in our upcoming feature release, 4.4.0, due out first quarter 2018. We like to thank our contributors by citing them in the release notes. If you care to recognized in this manner, please respond with how you want to be identified. Typically it is by name and/or organization. Thank you for suggesting this change. Regards, Thomas Markwalder ISC Software Engineering

I reopen this because IMHO it should warn more about the backward incompatible change for the DHCPv6 client.

To get back previous behavior during port relay tests I had to add the new parameter and to enforce the new script. I kept full commands for DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6, here is the DHCPv6 client part: ./dhclient -d -v -6 -4o6 6767 -lf /tmp/lease6 -pf /tmp/pid6 --address-prefix-len 64 -sf ./scripts/linux ens38

Hi Thomas -  I'm sorry for the really long delay in replying.  For some reason,  I missed this email when it arrived, and only now found it when I was glancing through the other emails.  Of course, I was glad to hear that the option would be added to dhclient - it would save me patching it for each update, and would definitely be useful to others as well. If possible, and if it's not too late, I would like to be mentioned as Indy, of the FireballISO open source project (https://fireballiso.sourceforge.io/). It's up to you whether to put in the URL. Thank you! -Indy On 11/27/2017 9:03 AM, Thomas Markwalder via RT wrote: > Hello Indy: > > You'll be pleased to learn that we have added a command line argument, --prefix-len-hint, to dhclient that instructs the client to use the specified value as the prefix length hint when soliciting prefixes.
