Indicates the index number of the interface for which to release an address. If you do not specify an interface, ipv6 release releases addresses on all IPv6 interfaces. You can use the IPConfig command to determine the interface index number that corresponds to a particular IP address. |
Remarks
This command causes the DHCPv6 client to send a Release message to the DHCPv6 server that assigned the address for the specified interface. For information about DHCPv6 Release messages, see RFC 3315.
