This is done on the client. No table is required execpt one additional attribute is difined in client data structure. Once the client learns any configuration info, its preference is checked to see if it is better or equal than currentlly installed. If so, install it and the system start to use it. Otherwise, ignore it (actually installed in the client table). There are some minor details which can be easy to be figured out. For devices with multiple DHCP client enabled, I guess usually some kind of config may be needed anyway. Otherwise the latest one will always be used based on the above rule as they will have the same preference by default. But you do have a point. As I said earlier, this can be done on the server side as well but some co-ordination is required among these server, which may not be possible in some environment.

So this is done on the client? Is preference assigned to different classes of DHCP server (e.g., v4 vs. v6) or different server identification information, or what? I can envision a table on the client that contains a list of server ids and preferences, although this seems not so helpful in the sense that the client now has to be configured before it can use the network. _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
