Messages received

Number of the following DHCP messages received:

  • DHCPACK—When received from the server, the client sends an ARP request for that address and adds a (ARP response) timer for 4 seconds and stops the earlier timer added for DHCPACK.

  • DHCPNAK—When a DHCPNAK is received instead of DHCPACK, the logical interface sends a DHCPDISCOVER packet.

Messages sent

Number of the following DHCP messages sent:

  • DHCPDECLINE—Packet sent when ARP response is received and there is a conflict. The logical interface sends a new DHCPDISCOVER packet.

  • DHCPDISCOVER—Packet sent on the interface for which the DHCP client is enabled.

  • DHCPREQUEST—Packet sent to the DHCP server after accepting the DHCPOFFER. After sending the DHCPREQUEST, the device adds a retransmission-interval timer.

  • DHCPINFORM—Packet sent to the DHCP server for local configuration parameters.

  • DHCPRELEASE—Packet sent to the DHCP server to relinquish network address and cancel remaining lease.

  • DHCPRENEW—Packet sent to the DHCP server to renew the address. The next message to be sent will be a DHCPREQUEST message, which will be unicast directly to the server.
