Configuring SNMP, BootP, and DHCP Services

The client examines the configuration parameters in the DHCPACK packet
and records the duration of the lease period. If the client detects a problem
with the configuration parameters, it sends a DHCPDECLINE packet to the
server and issues a new DHCPDISCOVER packet. Otherwise, the client
accepts the configuration parameters.
• If the target server cannot supply the requested configuration parameters, it
sends a DHCPNAK packet to the client through the BootP relay agent.
When the client receives the DHCPNAK packet, it broadcasts a new
DHCPDISCOVER packet and the process begins again.
A client may choose to relinquish its IP address before the lease period expires by
sending a DHCPRELEASE packet to the server. This packet contains the
relinquished IP address in the client IP address field and the client’s MAC address
in the client hardware address field.
Reacquiring the Same IP Address
A client may want to reuse an IP address that a server allocated earlier using a
BootP relay agent. In this case, the interchange between client and server omits
some of the steps described in the previous sections.
The client can acquire the same IP address again using a BootP relay agent by
following these steps:
1.
The client starts the interchange by broadcasting a DHCPREQUEST packet
that contains its previous IP address in the client IP address field.
2.
The BootP relay agent receives the packet and forwards it to DHCP servers on
other networks.
3.
DHCP servers examine the client’s configuration parameters in the options
field of the DHCPREQUEST packet.
4.
The server that originally supplied the configuration parameters recognizes
them and responds with a DHCPACK packet.
5.
When a client receives a DHCPACK packet, it accepts or declines the
parameters, as it would when receiving a new IP address.
If a client’s request is invalid (for example, if the client has moved to a new
network), servers respond with a DHCPNAK packet. If a client receives only
DHCPNAK packets, it must request a new IP address by broadcasting a
DHCPDISCOVER packet.
