The DHCPv6 server controls the time at which the client contacts with the 
server to extend the lifetimes on any addresses before the lifetimes expire. 
After a first time limit specified by the server is reached, the client sends the 
server a Renew message. Select this option to have the server renew the lease 
before the second server specified time limit is reached.

IPv6 prefix (network address) received from the ISP (or a connected uplink 
router) for its LAN.
