Title: if enabling DHCPv6 server it should bind to ports?
Post by: jahlives on January 25, 2024, 11:13:37 AM
I may have a stupid question :-) But I assumed that if I enable dhcpv6 server on an interface and the dhcp6 server starts then it should listen on udp ports 547 and 548? I try to setup my box with a Hurrican Elec ipv6 Tunnel. IPv6 works so far on the box but if I want to enable dhcp6 on the LAN interface it seems not to bind to the two ports. According to process list the dhcp6 server is started

dhcpd   62800   0.0  0.2   51904   35680  -  Ss   10:49      0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -6 -user dhcpd -group dhcpd -chroot /var/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpdv6.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpdv6.pid bridge2 bridge3 bridge1 bridge0

but no bindings to the two ports according to netstat command

netstat -f inet6 -n | grep '.547\|.548'


is it right that dhcpv6 server should bind to these two ports or not (or at least 547)? So far only ntp and dns are bound to ipv6
