Re: dhcpinform only on dhcpd -u

Hi, Perhaps I was not really clear about this. What is the rationale to only have DHCP server to reply to DHCPINFORM messages and never serve any ip leases while we bind it to UDP socket?  Currently, dhcp server will only serve ip addresses if its using raw sockets, replaying to broadcasts etc. 

dhcpinform only on dhcpd -u

Hi, in dhcpd.c we have: if (is_udpsock && packet->packet_type != DHCPINFORM) { log_info("Unable to handle a DHCP message type=%d on UDP " "socket", packet->packet_type); return; } Why do we not want to process normal dhcp messages like
