If a client’s request is invalid (for example, when the client has moved to a new
network), servers respond with a DHCPNAK packet. If a client receives only a
DHCPNAK packet, it must request a new IP address by broadcasting a
DHCPDISCOVER packet.
RARP Overview
You can use a Bay Networks router as a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) server that assigns IP addresses to its clients on the local area network.
When you configure a router to use RARP services, it acts as a RARP server. A
RARP server supplies clients on the same physical or logical LAN with IP
addresses (Figure 2-11)
.
