    <title>[DHCPv4] Section Options</title>

    <para>This section configures the DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) value used by DHCP protocol. 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 address. To configure IAID and ClientIdentifier, see

    <title>[DHCPv6] Section Options</title>

    <para>This section configures the DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) value used by DHCPv6 protocol.
    DHCPv6 client protocol sends the DHCP Unique Identifier and the interface Identity Association
    Identifier (IAID) to a DHCPv6 server when acquiring a dynamic IPv6 address. IAID and DUID allows a
    DHCPv6 server to uniquely identify the machine and the interface requesting a DHCP IP address. To
