The DHCP client selects the DHCP server according to the following rules:

The
public options

code 224
) has a value equal to the string
“
OpenMobility
”.
or
•
the
file
field in the DHCP message has a sub string equal to “ip_rfp.cnt”.
If none of the two rules above match the DHCP offer is ignored.
Information retrieved from the DHCP offer:
•
The IP address to use is taken from the
yiaddr
field in the DHCP
message.
•
The IP netmask is taken from the
subnet mask option (code 1).
•
The default gateway is taken from the
router option (code 3).
•
The TFTP server IP address is taken from the
(code 66)
field in the DHCP
message.
•
The boot image filename is taken from the
(code 67)
field in the DHCP
message, if this field is empty the default filename “iprfp.bin” is used.
3.1.3.1.3 Retries
If the DHCP client does not get an appropriate DHCP offer a new DHCP
request is send after 1 second. After 3 DHCP requests are sent the DHCP
client will sleep for 60 seconds.
During this time the booter will accept a local configuration with the
OpenMobility Configurator (OMC).
This cycle will repeat every 3 minutes until either ALL the required DHCP
options are provided or the system is manually configured using the OM
Configurator tool.
