Need a support for unicast DHCPOFFER & DHCPACK for devices which dont support broadcast.
The server sends a DHCPOFFER & DHCPACK unicast to the client.
This needs to be configurable though settings (.INI) file.

    Thanks for Posting.

    I am not sure how this will be done. As the client dont have IP Address during these transactions, Unicast may not work.

    can you please explain me how this will work.

    Thanks

    We will need to form L2 packets as we know the MAC address of the device.
    MAC ID will be provied to the settings file.
    Note: It is possible as there are many DHCP servers that send out Unicast to the same device.

    This server responses with broadcast only if discover or request is sent as broadcast. Otherwise it sends the response using unicast only. Did you try.
