Figure 2-10. Requesting and Receiving IP Information (DHCP Server)
1.
When the client has chosen a target DHCP server, it broadcasts a
DHCPREQUEST packet to the server. The DHCPREQUEST packet contains
the address of the target server in the server IP address field.
2.
The router configured as a DHCP server examines the packet, and if its IP
address differs from the value in the server IP address
field, it reclaims the IP
address it supplied in the DHCPOFFER packet. This address is now available
for other clients.
3.
If the DHCPREQUEST packet is valid, the DHCP server forwards the request
information to the NetID Server Manager.
4.
After the NetID Server Manager updates the NetID database with the new
request information, the NetID Server Manager sends a committed update
message back to the DHCP server.
Accepting or Declining IP Information
In a network configuration in which the router is configured as a DHCP server, the
target server recognizes its IP address in the server IP address field, and responds
to the DHCPREQUEST packet as follows:
3. NetID Server Manager updates
NetID database for IP address and
configuration parameters and sends
committed update message to DHCP server.
1. Client broadcasts
a DHCPREQUEST
packet.
4. DHCP server
transmits DHCPACK
or DHCPNAK
packet to client.
2. DHCP server transmits
information from
the DHCPREQUEST
packet to NetID Server
Manager.
