dhcpcd-discuss

Hi,

I am executing the TAHI test cases of RFC 3736, and not able to send Information-request packets through dhcpcd client.

?  From the other dhcpv6 client like dhcp6c (wide-dhcp6), was able to send the DHCPv6 "Information-request" packet type to server for requesting options info while running the RFC3736 test cases

?  But, from the dhcpcd, these information-request options were sent as part of DHCPv6 Solicit packet type while running RFC3736 test cases

?  Since the RFC3736 TAHI test code is expecting the packet type as "Information-request" to request for options to the server and currently it is not getting it from dhcpcd, all the test cases in RFC3736 are failing

Below is my dhcpcd.conf content:

# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.

Can anyone, please let me know if dhcpcd will support for "Information-request" packet type or not. If yes, how to get the "Information-request" packet type in dhcpcd.
Thanks in advance.
