+ <para>This section configures the DHCP Unique Idendifier (DUID) value used by DHCP
+ protocol. DHCPv6 client protocol sends the DHCP Unique Identifier and the interface

+ a dynamic IPv4 address if <option>ClientIdentifier=duid</option>. IAID and DUID allows
+ a DHCP server to uniquely identify the machine and the interface requesting a DHCP IP.
