Hi: As Artur already mentioned, when a node restarts it would likely assume it is perhaps no longer connected to the same link and take steps to "confirm" its addresses by multicasting the Confirm message. Server(s) will respond to this with an indication that the addresses are unacceptable (likely based on the prefixes) or acceptable (again based on the prefixes or because the server assigned those addresses). There may be several different levels of indications in each case - since a server that didn't assign the address might only be able to base its response on the prefixes and not the actual addresses. A server that receives the Confirm and has a (perhaps "timed-out") Reconfigure-Init needed flag for that client (based on DUID) SHOULD then take steps to initiate the Reconfigure-Init. My own personal view is that Confirm should not be used to assign new addresses or adjust lifetimes (or even T1/T2 renewal times). It should simply be used to confirm the validity of the addresses on that link. But I'm not sure that is WG consensus. - Bernie Volz -----Original Message----- From: Erik Nordmark [mailto:Erik.Nordmark@eng.sun.com] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 3:20 PM To: Bernie Volz (EUD) Cc: 'Artur Guja'; dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: RE: [dhcwg] Clarification necessary > 2) Should the client save its leases to a file or do they just go to > the memory?

Hmm, has there been any discussion what impact this will have on reconfigure to do renumbering? I guess the same issue appears with DHCPv4 and its new ability to do reconfigure. At a minimum it might make sense to document that reconfigure might not be able to reach nodes that are turned off but that those nodes might retain the leases in stable storage. Erik
