dhcpv6 issues addresses in order starting from the end of the scope.


Hi All,

One one of my servers I have a v6 scope assigned like below:

subnet6 2001:0:0:1::/64 {
range6 2001:0:0:1::1000 2001:0:0:1:ffff:ffff:ffff:eeee;
option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:1::1, 2001:1::2;
authoritative;
}

When clients pick up addresses, DHCP gives them an address starting from :ffff:ffff:ffff:eeee then decending, so the second PC would then get :ffff:ffff:ffff:eeed and so-on.

In DHCPv4 this order was reversed, starting from the start-address and doing up.

Is there a way to change this so that clients get addresses starting at ::1000 then ::1001 and so on?

Thanks
Anubis.
