• If the DHCP server can supply the requested configuration parameters, it
sends a DHCPACK packet to the client through the DHCP server.
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 DHCP server.
When the client receives the DHCPNAK packet, it broadcasts a new
DHCPDISCOVER packet and the process begins again.
Reacquiring the Same IP Address
A client may want to reuse an IP address that a server allocated earlier using
DHCP. 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 DHCP server 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 DHCP server receives the packet, examines the client’s configuration
parameters in the options field of the DHCPREQUEST packet, and forwards
the client request information to the NetID Server Manager.
3.
The NetID Server Manager updates its database and sends a committed
update message back to the DHCP server.
4.
The DHCP server that originally supplied the configuration parameters
recognizes them and responds with a DHCPACK packet.
5.
When a client receives a DHCPACK packet from the DHCP server, 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.
