+        DHCPv6 server is implemented as <command>b10-dhcp6</command>
+        daemon. As it is configurable yet, it is fully autonomous,
+        i.e. it does not interact with <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>.
+        To start DHCPv6 server, simply input:
+
+        <screen>
+#<userinput>cd src/bin/dhcp6</userinput>
+#<userinput>./b10-dhcp6</userinput>
+</screen>
+

+        binary may reside in src/bin/dhcp6 in your source code
+        directory, in /usr/local/bin/b10-dhcp6 or other directory
+        you specified during compilation.
+
+        Afre start, server will detect available network interfaces
+        and will attempt to open UDP sockets on all interfaces that
+        are up, running, are not loopback and have IPv4 address
+        assigned.
+
+        Server will then listen to incoming traffic. Currently
+        supported client messages are SOLICIT and REQUEST. Server
+        will respond to them with ADVERTISE and REPLY, respectively.
+
+        As DHCPv6 server opens privileged ports, it requires root
+        access. Make sure you run this daemon as root.
