DHCPv6

DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6) is a system used in computer networks to automatically assign IP addresses and related configuration information to devices, like smartphones or computers, that connect to the internet. This process ensures devices can communicate properly without manual setup. DHCPv6 specifically handles IPv6 addresses, the newer version of IP addresses designed to accommodate more devices worldwide. It simplifies network management by automatically providing devices with the necessary details to connect, ensuring efficient and reliable communication within the network.
