Description

The Add-DhcpServerv6Class cmdlet adds an IPv6 vendor or user class to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server service.

If you are adding a vendor class, you must specify the VendorId parameter. Do not specify that parameter for a user class.

Examples

Example 1: Add a user class

PS C:\> Add-DhcpServerv6Class -Name "User Class for Lab Computers" -Type "User" -Data "LabComputers"

This example adds a DHCPv6 user class for lab computers.

Example 2: Add a vendor class

PS C:\> Add-DhcpServerv6Class -Name "Vendor Class for Printers" -Type "Vendor" -Data "JetPrinters" -VendorId 100

This example adds a DHCPv6 vendor class for printers from a specific vendor identified by the vendor ID.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.
