    <title>[DHCP] Section Options</title>

    <para>This section configures the DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) value used by DHCP
    protocol. DHCPv6 client protocol sends the DHCP Unique Identifier and the interface
    Identity Association Identifier (IAID) to a DHCP server when acquiring a dynamic IPv6
    address. DHCPv4 client protocol sends IAID and DUID to the DHCP server when acquiring
    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.
    To configure IAID and ClientIdentifier, see
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
