The IESG has approved the following documents: 1. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol 2. DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions 3. Interoperation Between DHCP and BOOTP 4. Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol as Draft Standards. These documents are the product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Frank Kastenholz and Jeffrey Burgan. Included below is a list of information about several DHCP implementations, in support if the requirement for independent, interoperable implementations before acceptance of the protocol specification as a Draft Standard. The list is only a partial list of available implementation; I can try to twist some arms to get a longer list if it is needed. The implementations have been tested for interoperability at four DHCP bake-offs and at recent Connectathons. Here is a summary of the DHCP bakeoffs: Seattle, WA - 10/23/93 Chelmsford, MA - 1/19/94 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - 7/21/94 - Sun, WIDE, Microsoft, FTP Software, Competitive Automation, SGI, HP Cupertino, CA - 6/15/95 - Apple, Competitive Automation, FTP Software, HP, Microsoft, SGI, Shiva, TGV Note: The DHCP implementors define 'implementation' of a specific option to mean that the option can be inserted into a DHCP message by a server, and extracted from the message by a client. There is no requirement that there actually be an application program that actually uses every option. In particular, many of the "legacy" options from BOOTP have been carried forward for backward compatibility, even though it is not likely that any DHCP client will make use of, e.g., the IEN 116 name servers option. - Ralph _______________________________________________________________________ Name of Implementation: Cisco MultiNet v4.0 (DHCP server is a component part).

Location of Source Code: proprietary. Point of Contact: Claimed Interoperability: Cisco, Microsoft, Apple. Note: this product is based on the same core code-base as the above MultiNet for OpenVMS. The port of the DHCP server to the UNIX platforms was not at the HP-Cupertino DHCP bake-off that I brought the VMS server to, so I'm being conservative in not claiming the same interoperabity. The protocol engine is the same code. _______________________________________________________________________ Name of Implementation: Cisco TCP/IP for Windows Suite 100 v2.0 (DHCP client) Organisation: cisco Systems Implemented Features: Full client-server interaction: Yes.
