Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 2242 NetWare/IP Domain Name and Information November 1997 o "DHCP server" A DHCP server is an Internet host that returns configuration parameters to DHCP clients. 2. The NetWare/IP Domain Name option This option code is used to convey the NetWare/IP domain name used by the NetWare/IP product. The NetWare/IP Domain in the option is an NVT ASCII [RFC 854] string whose length is inferred from the option 'len' field. The code for this option is 62, and its maximum length is 255. Code Len NetWare/IP Domain Name +-----+-----+------+------+------+----- | 62 | n | c1 | c2 | c3 | ... +-----+-----+------+------+------+----- The 'len' field gives the length of the NetWare/IP Domain Name. 3. The NetWare/IP Information option The NetWare/IP option code will be used to convey all the NetWare/IP related information except for the NetWare/IP domain name. The code for this option is 63, and its maximum length is 255. A number of NetWare/IP sub-options will be conveyed using this option code. The 'len' field for this option gives the length of the option data, which includes the sub-option code, length and data fields. Each sub-option contains in sequential order, a one byte sub-option code, a one byte length, and an optional multiple byte value field. The sub-option length gives the length of the value field for the sub-option. The example below illustrates the use of the 'len' and sub-option length fields in this option. One and only one of the following four sub-options must be the first sub-option to be present in option 63 encoding. Each of them is simply a type length pair with length set to zero. Sub-options: NWIP_DOES_NOT_EXIST (code 1) The responding DHCP server does not have any NetWare/IP information configured. Droms & Fong Standards Track
