The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'DHCP reconfigure extension' <draft-ietf-dhc-pv4-reconfigure-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Nordmark and Thomas Narten. Technical Summary This draft defines extensions to DHCP [RFC 2131] to allow dynamic reconfiguration of a single host triggered by the DHCP server (e.g., a new IP address). This is achieved by introducing a unicast FORCERENEW message that forces the client into the RENEW state. The behaviour for hosts using the DHCP INFORM message to obtain configuration information is also described. Working Group Summary There has been support for this document in the WG for sometime, and the document has been waiting for the DHCP authentication document to complete, as the FORCERENEW messages is ignored unless authenticated. No issues were raised during the IETF Last Call. Protocol Quality This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.
