This article will cover the basic steps to configure Spirent TestCenter for dual stack DHCP/DHCPv6 support on a single emulated subscriber (i.e., device block).

• Spirent TestCenter 4.30 (although this was supported at least as far back as v3.62)

1. Launch the Technology Selector
   1. Check "DHCP"
   2. Check "DHCPv6/PD"
   3. Click "OK"
      
       
2. From "All Devices" or "Devices", click "Add..." to launch the Device Wizard
   
    
3. In the "Select Protocols" step, check "DHCPv6/PD"
   
    
4. After completing the rest of the steps in the Device Wizard, click Finish
5. Under the "DHCP" tab, check "Active"
   
    
6. Under the "DHCPv6/PD" tab, select the desired "Emulation Mode" 
   
    
7. Click "Apply"
8. To bind...
   1. just DHCP, click the "Bind DHCP Device" under the DHCP tab 
   2. just DHCPv6/PD, click the "Bind DHCPv6/PD Device" under the DHCPv6/PD tab
   3. both protocols at the same time, click "Start Device"
      Note this will start any other protocol enabled on that device block as well (e.g., IGMP, PPPoX)
