  • Article

If a Validating Server receives a DHCPv6 Reply message containing a non-empty Rogue Detection Reply option (section 2.2.10.2), it will consider itself unauthorized and set the DHCPv4ServerAttributes.IsRogue element, a shared ADM element (see [MS-DHCPM] section 3.1.1.26), to TRUE.

If a Validating Server receives a DHCPv6 Reply message that either does not contain a Rogue Detection Reply option (section 2.2.10.2) or contains an empty one, it retries sending the DHCPv6 Information-request message.

The maximum number of retries is implementation-specific.<55> After all retry attempts are exhausted, the Validating Server MUST consider itself authorized and set the DHCPv4ServerAttributes.IsRogue element, a shared ADM element (see [MS-DHCPM] section 3.1.1.26), to FALSE.
