Path To Pig.py / Exhaust Dhcp Ipv6 Addresses
Exhaust Dhcp Ipv6 Addresses
Exhaust DHCP IPv6 addresses using a specified network interface.
sudo <path/to>/pig.py -6 <eth1> sudo <path/to>/pig.py -6 <eth1> #!/bin/bash
# Exhaust Dhcp Ipv6 Addresses
sudo {{path/to}}/pig.py {{[-6|--ipv6]}} {{eth1}} import subprocess
# Exhaust Dhcp Ipv6 Addresses
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
cmd = [
"path-to-pig.py",
"<path/to>/pig.py",
"-6",
"<eth1>"
]
try:
print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Error: path-to-pig.py not found. Please install it first.")

run_command() When To Use
To assess the availability of IPv6 DHCP addresses under specific network conditions.
Pro Tip
Use --dry-run to preview potential IP allocations without actual requests.
Anatomy of Output
Understanding the result
Requesting DHCPv6 address from eth1... Request Status Corresponds to the interface that the request is issued from.
Assigned IPv6 Address: 2001:db8::1 Assigned IPv6 Shows the IPv6 address assigned by the server.
DHCPv6 Lease Time: 7200 seconds Lease Time Indicates how long the IPv6 address can be used.
Power User Variants
Optimized versions
path-to-pig.py sudo path/to/pig.py --ipv6 eth1 Basic method to exhaust DHCPv6 addresses.
path-to-pig.py sudo path/to/pig.py --retry --ipv6 eth1 Attempt retry on failed DHCPv6 requests.
Troubleshooting
Common pitfalls
Error: DHCPv6 request failed
Solution: Verify the DHCPv6 configuration and server status.
Error: Interface eth1 not found
Solution: Check that the specified interface is correct and operational.
Error: No DHCPv6 server found
Solution: Confirm that the DHCPv6 server is actively running.
