Mechanism of using Option 184 on DHCP server
The DHCP server encapsulates the information for Option 184 to carry in the response packets sent to
the DHCP clients. Supposing that the DHCP clients are on the same segment as the DHCP server, the
mechanism of Option 184 on the DHCP server is as follows:
1) A DHCP client sends to the DHCP server a request packet carrying Option 55, which indicates the
client requests the configuration parameters of Option 184.
2) The DHCP server checks the request list in Option 55 carried by the request packet, and then adds
the sub-options of Option 184 in the Options field of the response packet to be sent to the DHCP
client.
Only when the DHCP client specifies in Option 55 of the request packet that it requires Option 184,
does the DHCP server add Option 184 in the response packet sent to the client.
