sorry....
- client sends a broadcast with his mac and the ip 0.0.0.0
- dhcp server answers him
- client tells this particular server "need IP address"
- Server may check fpr a free ip and tells it to the client
- client tells server thanks i am using it
All devices even Switches always "unlearn" foreign MAC Addresses - thats
the only way for them to be up2date if something is changed somewhere.
cheers
