--- prelude: > - Call dhcp_release6 command line utility when releasing unused IPv6 leases for DHCPv6 stateful subnets. dhcp_release6 first appeared in dnsmasq 2.76 upgrade: - A version of dnsmasq that includes dhcp_release6 should be installed on systems running the DHCP agent. Failure to do this could cause DHCPv6 stateful addressing to not function properly. - The rootwrap filters file dhcp.filters must be updated to include dhcp_release6, otherwise trying to run the utility will result in a NoFilterMatched exception. issues: - Absence of dhcp_release6 when DHCPv6 stateful addressing is in use may lead to bug `1521666 `_. Neutron supports dhcp_release6 now, but if the tool is not available this leads to increased log warnings. Read bug report `1622002 `_ for more details.
