DHCP Server and Client on same interface

[Sumant Gupta]

Actually the client is some  embedded linux board and has only serial
interface link and no Ethernet interface so I need to give dhcpv6 address
to that client.

On my host machine it is linux Ubuntu 14.05 and o am using ISC DHCP server
on Ubuntu machine
