IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR USE IN NETWORK ENVIRONMENT HAVING MULTIPLE DHCP SERVERS, AND DHCP CLIENT

摘要

Provided are an IP address management method for use in a network environment having multiple DHCP servers, and a DHCP client. The IP address management method comprises: providing a DHCP client to receive IP address allocation associated with DHCP servers, the DHCP client implementing the IP address management method. The IP address management method comprises: parsing a received DHCP offer data packet, and performing matching on the basis of an allocated IP address in the DHCP offer data packet and a preset network segment; and if the allocated IP address falls within the preset network segment, receiving an IP address lease in the DHCP offer data packet. The IP address management method for use in a network environment having multiple DHCP servers and the DHCP client of the invention can solve a problem in which an IP address allocated by a DHCP server is not consistent with a network segment a user needs to access.
