What is swDHCPv6ServerPoolPreferredLifetime?

This object sets, in seconds, how long an IPv6 address assigned from this pool remains in the preferred state, during which it can be used freely for new connections, with an allowed range of 60 to 4294967295. An admin tunes this to control how long clients favor a given address before it moves to deprecated status ahead of expiration. For example, an admin might set this to 86400 (24 hours) to have addresses stay preferred for a full day before renewal is needed.
