DHCP for IEEE 1394

Overview

RFC 2855, “DHCP for IEEE 1394”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2000 by K. Fujisawa. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This memo describes specific usage of some fields of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) messages. IEEE Std 1394-1995 is a standard for a High Performance Serial Bus. Since 1394 uses a different link-layer addressing method than conventional IEEE802/Ethernet, the usage of some fields must be clarified to achieve interoperability. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
