Hello Experts,

I read RFC 2131 and have the following query -

If the administrator manually deletes the dhcp IP-MAC binding entry
from the DHCP server database, is there any DHCP message generated for
it? I think it is not generated. Please let me know if we are missing
anything. Will it not be a good idea to generate a new DHCP message
which can flush the state of DHCP clients/DHCP Snooping switches and
re-initialize their state machines?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Girish
