As IPv6 adoption accelerates, understanding DHCPv6 is essential for managing modern network environments.

In this Feature of the Month video, BlueCat’s Director of Customer Success, Kevin Mosley, breaks down how to configure DHCPv6—covering both stateful and stateless modes—and walks through key deployment steps.

🧠 What you’ll learn:

- The differences between stateful and stateless DHCPv6 - How to configure address ranges and deployment roles - Why traditional failover protocols aren’t needed in IPv6

- How to use router advertisements to direct clients to your DHCP server - Best practices for delivering DNS information across diverse client types

Through a live demo using BlueCat Integrity and MikroTik routers, you’ll learn how to set up DHCPv6 services that interoperate smoothly with IPv6 router advertisements, ensuring consistent DNS and domain configuration for all clients.
