Hi, Sorry but I need a clarification :) Marcelo's item about DHCP is about how may DHCP provide a CGA address to a node or how does DHCP check that a node may use a CGA address?
Thanks. Best regards. JMC. 2006/11/21, Alexandru Petrescu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Sounds good at delivering hash-based addresses to terminal. It may however have security risks, like a rogue Server. > I don't think there are any DHCP extensions required for that? There could be a discussion on securing initial DHCPv6 exchanges with hash-based addresses instead of shared IPsec keys, too.
