Updates to eir fibre broadband IPv6 support
Delegated Prefix lease persistency enhanced To help prevent changes to the Delegated Prefix assigned to a requesting DHCPv6 client the DHCPv6 server now remembers the lease for 15 minutes after the lease has timed out. The server also remembers the lease even when the client sends a solicited-release for it. This lets the router be reconfigured without losing its lease. Leases are bound to the MAC address of the requesting router's WAN interface. If the router's WAN interface MAC changes a different Delegated Prefix will be assigned. A typical example of when this occurs is a router swap. If a different Delegated Prefix is desired; turn the client router off for 75 minutes so that the lease also times out at the DHCPv6 server.
