How to Configure DHCPV6 Stateful Auto-configuration (Server and Client ) DHCPv6 Stateful Auto-configuration is a method used in IPv6 networks to assign IP addresses and other network configuration information to devices automatically. Unlike the stateless auto-configuration in IPv6, which allows devices to generate their own addresses using local network information, stateful configuration relies on a DHCPv6 server to… Read More »

Understanding IP Addresses. An IP address is uniquely used to identify a device on an IP network. The address is made up of 32 binary bits, which can be divisible into a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask. The 32 binary bits are broken into four octets (1 octet = 8 bits). Each… Read More »
