The flags are just hints, the host can always ignore them. If it is inappropriate to try to use DHCP when flags are zero, let it be so. Similarly if the flag(s) is (are) set, the host can always ignore.
Otherwise we need to say that the M/O flags are triggers of DHCP. So we need to agree if the flags are hints or triggers. -Syam On 7/27/05, Iljitsch van Beijnum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 27-jul-2005, at 4:01, JINMEI Tatuya / 神明達哉 wrote: > > >> Are 1) and 3) mutually exclusive, or is the requirement to have some > >> M/O combination that says "There is no DHCP, do not try to find it" > >> and another combination that says "I make so representation about the > >> DHCP status so you're free to have a look for it"?
