A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.
RFC 1531:
Title: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Author: R. Droms
Mailbox: droms@bucknell.edu
Pages: 39
Characters: 96,192
Updates/Obsoletes: none
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework
for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability
of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional
configuration options. DHCP captures the behavior of BOOTP relay
agents, and DHCP participants can interoperate with BOOTP
participants. This RFC is the product of the Dynamic Host
Configuration Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status
of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US. Requests to be added
to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to
