DHCPClient listens port 67, which is used by dhcpd

Open Apochens opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hello!

I'm trying to use the client to communicate with isc-dhcpd server. While using, I found that the client tries to listen to port 67 in the initialization phase: https://github.com/lvfrazao/dhcppython/blob/c442c3f6eca8244667df8a19d370f7569d81f08f/dhcppython/client.py#L90

However, isc-dhcpd uses port 67 to serve. could you please explain why the client listens to port 67?

This is standard in the DHCP, if you want to use this you can't run the isc-dhcpd server at the same moment.
