SECTION 2
If the Client
Has previously received
configuration information and
an IP address
Has not requested configuration
information before
After the server determines the configuration values and IP
address, the server sends this information back to your
6400 computer. The information sent from the server
includes the following:
A set of configuration parameters, called options."
"
Options define network resources (such as servers and
printers) and site specific information.
A set of valid values for the options (such as IP
"
addresses for servers).
An IP address that is either a predetermined,
"
permanent address, called a static address, or an
address that is dynamically allocated. Bootp servers
can return only static addresses.
For information about dynamic and static address
allocations, see Assigning IP Addresses with DHCP"
on page 2 50.
The duration of the lease offered by the server (if the
"
IP address is a dynamically allocated address) that
determines the length of time that you can keep the
address. Bootp servers do not return a lease time,
because all Bootp responses are considered to be
permanent.
For information about leases, see Assigning DHCP
Leases" on page 2 51.
The Server Then
Assigns the same
configuration to the client.
Uses the information in the
client request to select a
configuration.
