Abstract:
At an authentication server, a request for at least a first dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) option is received from a client device, and it is determined if the authentication server implements DHCP. Based at least in part on a determination that the authentication server does not implement a DHCP, the operations further include transmitting an application program interface (API) call to a DHCP server associated with the authentication server acting as a DHCP gateway, receiving a response from the DHCP server, and transmitting the response to the client device.
