Support for DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6) has been added for initial LoadMaster deployment and can optionally be enabled afterwards, if required.

On initial deployment, both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 are enabled and attempt to obtain an IP address. After an IP address is obtained (either via DHCP or by assigning the fallback IPv4 address of 192.168.1.101), DHCP is disabled and will remain disabled until manually reactivated via the API or using the Enable DHCPv6 Client check box on the System Configuration > Logging Options > System Log Files > Debug Options page of the UI.

When this option is enabled, the DHCPv6 client runs on the primary interface to obtain an IPv6 address and will remain running across subsequent reboots until this option is disabled. It is recommended that DHCPv6 be disabled after an IPv6 address is obtained, unless you are running the system within an IPv6 network where running DHCPv6 during normal system operation is required.
