The following errata report has been rejected for RFC2131, "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7776 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Technical Reported by: Imrane <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2024-01-23 Rejected by: Eric Vyncke (IESG) Section: 4.3.1 Original Text ------------- Client identifier MUST NOT MUST NOT MAY Corrected Text -------------- Client identifier MUST NOT MUST NOT MUST NOT Notes ----- In the "Options" list in Table 3 ("Fields and options used by DHCP server"), the "Client identifier" option has "MUST NOT" for both DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK; however, for DHCPNAK, it has "MAY". "Client identifier" should be a "MUST NOT" for DHCPNAK as well. It seems that the field should only be used by a client and never by a server, and if that's true for the OFFER and ACK, then it should be even more correct for the NAK. "Vendor class identifier" has a MAY for all three messages, so maybe it was a typo in the previous option because of the repetitive input in the next one. --VERIFIER NOTES-- RFC 6842 has addressed this problem with more information than a simple errata. I.e., the problem in RFC 2131 exists indeed but has been fixed. -------------------------------------- RFC2131 (no draft string recorded) -------------------------------------- Title : Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Publication Date : March 1997 Author(s) : R.
