commands to request and release of an IPv6 address from a dhcp server

Hi

Can anyone tell the linux commands to
request for an IPv6 address from a dhcpv6 server and release an IPv6 address.?

I think command to request for an IPv6 address from a dhcp server is dhcp6c eth1.
But couldnt find a command to release a DHCP IPv6 address like dhclient -r eth1 in IPv4

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Tina

I think its

Release/Acquire

For v4:

Code:

dhclient -4 -r eth0 //or just dhclient -r eth0

dhclient -4 eth0 // or just dhclient eth0

For v6

Code:

dhclient -6 -r eth0

dhclient -6 eth0
