3.2.5 Message Processing Events and Sequencing Rules

  • Article

DHCPv4 servers process DHCPv4 messages as specified in [RFC2131] sections 3 and 4. The DHCPv6 server processes messages as specified in [RFC3315]. Additional behavior of DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers is specified in this section.

A DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 server is considered unauthorized if the DHCPv4ServerAttributes.IsRogue element, a shared element (see [MS-DHCPM] section 3.1.1.26), is set to TRUE. An unauthorized DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 server does not process or respond to any of the messages documented in this section.
