Question Implementing DHCPv6 client/requesting router on linux box.


Hi tech folks,

I have a scenario I'd like to implement in our university's lab environment. The topic is DHCPv6 prefix delegation.
So here's what I have in mind:
I want to make a cisco router the delegator holding a pool of ipv6 addresses which advertises a certain prefix let's say a /48 blocks of ips from a pool of ips with /40(so 8 bits to play around with) to a linux router acting as a requesting router which is connected to several individual LANs. This Linux router then assigns /64 addresses to hosts residing in each LAN.
I think I have a clear id how to set up the cisco router, however I'm puzzled about what daemon/software to use on the linux router. I've found this daemon "dhcp6c - DHCPv6 client daemon" but it seems very under-documented. Also worth mentioning that I'm quite new to unix OSs so straightforward explnation in that regard would be much much appreciated.
Thank you guys in advance.

Thanks for the info.It's a bit confusing though as I cannot find any examples to the config process. Can You throw some hints on the setup if you have experience with it?
Isc DHCP server seems clearer to me. Any one has any other suggestions. Has anybody actually implemented such thing or has any experience in that regard?
