+        When DHCPv6 server starts up, by default it listens to the DHCP traffic
+        sent to multicast address ff02::1:2 on each interface that it is
+        configured to listen on (see <xref linkend="dhcp6-interface-selection"/>).
+        In some cases it is useful to configure a server to handle incoming
+        traffic sent to the global unicast addresses as well. The most common
+        reason for that is to have relays send their traffic to the server
+        directly. To configure server to listen on specific unicast address, a
+        notation to specify interfaces has been extended. Interface name can be
+        optionally followed by a slash, followed by global unicast address that
+        server should listen on. That will be done in addition to normal
+        link-local binding + listening on ff02::1:2 address. The sample commands
+        listed below show how to listen on 2001:db8::1 (a global address)
+        configured on the eth1 interface.

+        When configuration gets committed, the server will start to listen on
+        eth1 on link-local address, mutlicast group (ff02::1:2) and 2001:db8::1.

+        It is possible to mix interface names, wildcards and interface name/addresses
+        on the Dhcp6/interface list. It is not possible to specify more than one
+        unicast address on a given interface.
