what is dhcpv6-client service in firewalld, and can i safely remove it?


In a CentOS 7 server, I type in firewall-cmd --list-all, and it gives me the following:



public (default, active)
interfaces: enp3s0
sources:
services: dhcpv6-client https ssh
ports:
masquerade: no
forward-ports:
icmp-blocks:
rich rules:


What is the dhcpv6-client service? What does it do? And what are the implications of removing it?


I read the wikipedia page for dhcpv6, but it does not tell me specifically what this service on CentOS 7 Firewalld does.


This server is accessible via https and email via mydomain.com, but it is a private server that can only be accessed via https by a list of known ip addresses. In addition, this server can receive email from a list of known email addresses. Is the dhcpv6-client service required to reconcile the domain addresses from the known ip https requests and for exchanging the email with known email addresses?
