ipv6sharednetwork : DHCP IPv6 Shared Network object.

A shared network is a network segment to which you assign two or more subnets. When subnets in a shared network contain IP addresses that are available for dynamic allocation, the addresses are put into a common pool for allocation when client requests arise. When you create a shared network, the DHCP server can assign IP addresses to client requests from any subnet (that resides on the same network interface) in the shared network.

Object Reference

References to ipv6sharednetwork are object references. The name part of an ipv6 shared network object reference has the following components:

  • The name of the ipv6 shared network.

Example: ipv6sharednetwork/5ldHdvcmskMTEuMC4:sharedname

Restrictions

The object cannot be managed on Cloud Platform members.

Fields

These fields are actual members of the object; thus, they can be requested by using _return_fields, if the fields are readable.

The basic version of the object contains the field(s): comment, name, network_view, networks.

The following fields are required to create this object:

The default value is empty.

Search

The field is available for search via

The field is not available for search.

Notes
