3.3.3 Name Protection

  • Article

Name Protection [RFC4701] and [RFC4703] provides the following capability:

The DHCP Server will register A/AAAA and PTR records on behalf of a DHCP client, However, if there is a different client already registered with this name, the DHCP update will fail.

Name Protection can be enabled for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers.

Secure Dynamic DNS updates must be enabled for Name Protection to work.

Enforcing Name Protection will result in behavioral changes.<93>
