Abstract

The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option (RFC 3046) conveys information between a DHCP relay agent and a DHCP server. This specification defines two mechanisms for securing the messages exchanged between a relay agent and a server. The first mechanism defines a new authentication suboption for the Relay Agent Information Option that supports source entity authentication and data integrity for relayed DHCP messages. The authentication suboption contains a cryptographic signature in a payload derived from the option used in DHCP Authentication (RFC 3118). The second mechanism uses IPsec (RFC 2041) to protect messages exchanged between relay agents and servers.
