+DHCPv6 server
+-------------
+
+VyOS provides DHCPv6 server functionality which is described in this section.
+In order to use the DHCPv6 server it has to be enabled first:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server
+
+To restart the DHCPv6 server (operational mode):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ restart dhcpv6 server
+
+To show the current status of the DHCPv6 server use:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show dhcpv6 server status
+
+Show statuses of all assigned leases:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show dhcpv6 server leases
+
+DHCPv6 server options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+DHCPv6 server preference value
+******************************
+
+Clients receiving advertise messages from multiple servers choose the server
+with the highest preference value. The range for this value is `0...255`. Set
+a preference value for the DHCPv6 server:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server preference <preference value>
+
+Delete a preference:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server preference
+
+Show current preference:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server preference
+
+Specify address lease time
+**************************
+
+The default lease time for DHCPv6 leases is 24 hours. This can be changed by
+supplying a `default-time`, `maximum-time` and `minimum-time` (all values in
+seconds):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> lease-time {default <default-time> | maximum <maximum-time> | minimum <minimum-time>}
+
+Reset the custom lease times:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> lease-time {default | maximum | minimum}
+
+Show the current configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> lease-time {default | maximum | minimum}
+
+Specify NIS domain
+******************
+
+A Network Information (NIS) domain can be set to be used for DHCPv6 clients:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nis-domain <nis-domain-name>
+
+To Delete the NIS domain:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nis-domain <nis-domain-name>
+
+Show a configured NIS domain:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nis-domain <nis-domain-name>
+
+Specify NIS+ domain
+*******************
+
+The procedure to specify a Network Information Service Plus (NIS+) domain is
+similar to the NIS domain one:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nisplus-domain <nisplus-domain-name>
+
+To Delete the NIS+ domain:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nisplus-domain <nisplus-domain-name>
+
+Show a configured NIS domain:
+
+ # show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nisplus-domain <nisplus-domain-name>
+
+Specify NIS server address
+**************************
+
+To specify a NIS server address for DHCPv6 clients:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nis-server <IPv6 address>
+
+Delete a specified NIS server address:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nis-server <IPv6 address>
+
+Show specified NIS server addresses:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nis-server
+
+Specify NIS+ server address
+***************************
+
+To specify a NIS+ server address for DHCPv6 clients:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nisplus-server <IPv6 address>
+
+Delete a specified NIS+ server address:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nisplus-server <IPv6 address>
+
+Show specified NIS+ server addresses:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> nisplus-server
+
+Specify a SIP server address for DHCPv6 clients
+***********************************************
+
+By IPv6 address
+###############
+
+
+A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server address can be specified
+for DHCPv6 clients:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sip-server-address <IPv6 address>
+
+Delete a specified SIP server address:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sip-server-address <IPv6 address>
+
+Show specified SIP server addresses:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sip-server-address
+
+By FQDN
+#######
+
+A name for SIP server can be specified:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sip-server-name <sip-server-name>
+
+Delete a specified SIP server name:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sip-server-name <sip-server-name>
+
+Show specified SIP server names:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sip-server-name
+
+Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server address for DHCPv6 clients
+*********************************************************************
+
+A SNTP server address can be specified for DHCPv6 clients:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sntp-server-address <IPv6 address>
+
+Delete a specified SNTP server address:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sntp-server-address <IPv6 address>
+
+Show specified SNTP server addresses:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <ipv6net> sntp-server-address
+
+DHCPv6 address pools
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+DHCPv6 address pools must be configured for the system to act as a DHCPv6
+server. The following example describes a common scenario.
+
+Example 1: DHCPv6 address pool
+******************************
+
+A shared network named `NET1` serves subnet `2001:db8:100::/64` which is
+connected to `eth1`, a DNS server at `2001:db8:111::111` is used for name
+services. The range of the address pool shall be `::100` through `::199`. The
+lease time will be left at the default value which is 24 hours.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name NET1 subnet 2001:db8:100::/64 address-range start 2001:db8:100::100 stop 2001:db8:100::199
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name NET1 subnet 2001:db8:100::/64 name-server 2001:db8:111::111
+
+Commit the changes and show the configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ commit
+ show service dhcpv6-server
+ shared-network-name NET1 {
+ subnet 2001:db8:100::/64 {
+ address-range {
+ start 2001:db8:100::100 {
+ stop 2001:db8:100::199
+ }
+ }
+ name-server 2001:db8:111::111
+ }
+ }
+
+Static mappings
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to map specific IPv6 addresses to specific hosts static mappings can
+be created. The following example explains the process.
+
+Example 1: Static IPv6 MAC-based mapping
+****************************************
+
+IPv6 address `2001:db8:100::101` shall be statically mapped to a device with
+MAC address `00:15:c5:b7:5e:23`, this host-specific mapping shall be named
+`client1`.
+
+.. note:: The MAC address identifier is defined by the last 4 byte of the
+ MAC address.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name NET1 subnet 2001:db8:100::/64 static-mapping client1 ipv6-address 2001:db8:100::101
+ set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name NET1 subnet 2001:db8:100::/64 static-mapping client1 identifier c5b75e23
+
+Commit the changes and show the configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show service dhcp-server shared-network-name NET1
+ shared-network-name NET1 {
+ subnet 2001:db8:100::/64 {
+ name-server 2001:db8:111::111
+ address-range {
+ start 2001:db8:100::100 {
+ stop 2001:db8:100::199 {
+ }
+ }
+ static-mapping client1 {
+ ipv6-address 2001:db8:100::101
+ identifier c5b75e23
+ }
+ }
+ }
