6. <strong>opsi</strong>-Module: depot server<br />

The PXE firmware is activated at boot time and sends a DHCPDISCOVER broadcast<br />

request into the network (standard port). It is a request for an IP address and for the<br />

name of the DHCP server in charge.<br />

With DHCPOFFER the DHCP-Server makes a proposal.<br />

DHCPREQUEST is the client's answer to the server, if the offered IP address is<br />

accepted (there might be several DHCP servers in the network).<br />

With DHCPACK the DHCP server acknowledges the client request and sends the<br />

requested information to the client.<br />

Additional data packets:<br />

DHCPNACK Rejection of a DHCPREQUEST by the Server.<br />

DHCPDECLINE Rejection by the Client, because the offered IP address is<br />

already in use<br />

DHCPRELEASE The client releases the IP address (so it is<br />

available for a new assignment).<br />

DHCPINFORM Client request for parameters (but not for an IP address).<br />
