dhcp6d: Use a custom configuration.
$ dhcp6d ${path-to-config_file}
try on your machine

The command "dhcp6d ${path-to-config_file}" is used to start the DHCPv6 server on a system using the specified configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dhcp6d": This is the name of the DHCPv6 server executable. It is the command used to launch the DHCPv6 server daemon.
  • "${path-to-config_file}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the DHCPv6 server configuration file. You need to replace "${path-to-config_file}" with the absolute path to the configuration file on your system.

To use the command, you need to provide the path to the DHCPv6 server configuration file as an argument. The configuration file contains various settings and options that define the behavior of the DHCPv6 server, such as IP address ranges, lease times, DNS server addresses, etc.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
