DHCP Server Identifier Override Suboption
RFC 5107, “DHCP Server Identifier Override Suboption”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2008 by R. Johnson, J. Kumarasamy, K. Kinnear, M. Stapp. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines a new suboption of the DHCP relay information option that allows the DHCP relay to specify a new value for the Server Identifier option, which is inserted by the DHCP Server. This allows the DHCP relay to act as the actual DHCP server such that RENEW DHCPREQUESTs will come to the relay instead of going to the server directly. This gives the relay the opportunity to include the Relay Agent option with appropriate suboptions even on DHCP RENEW messages. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
