3.1.3 Initialization

NKPU clients rely on their transports to be properly initialized. DHCPv4 client and server initialization is specified in [RFC2131] and DHCPv6 client and server initialization is specified in [RFC3315].

When DHCPv4 is the available transport, set the DHCPv4 parameter values ([RFC2131] section 4.1) as follows (or set them to another reasonable value):

  • The RA SHOULD be set to 1.

  • The RDT SHOULD be set to 2.

When DHCPv6 is the available transport, set the DHCPv6 parameter values ([RFC3315] section 14) as follows (or set them to another reasonable value):

  • The IRT SHOULD be set to 2.

  • The MRC SHOULD be set to 2.

  • The MRT SHOULD be set to 4.

  • The MRD SHOULD be set to 4.

For other prerequisites and preconditions, see section 1.5.
