摘要:
The present invention discloses a method of broadband access device for controlling a DHCP relay user, which method comprises modifying protocol fields in all of DHCP messages interacted between a DHCP relay and a DHCP client and a DHCP server during initiation phase of the DHCP interaction at Application Layer of TCP/IP protocol so that all of the DHCP messages interacted between the client and the server can pass through the DHCP relay. The present invention can easily control and manage the interaction between the DHCP client and the external DHCP server, vary the network parameters of the DHCP user and detecting the DHCP user online and so on according to the requirements of the user management strategy. Furthermore, the present invention only needs to process Application Layer of TCP/IP protocol to achieve the predetermined purpose of control/ management.
