RFC 2132 - DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions

Every requirement this repository extracted from RFC 2132, the tests bound to it, and what a reader has verified about them. This summary is enrolled and gated by ./le rfc check.

Overview

Positive

what Ze has

Tested both ways0.0%0 of 34 gated MUSTs

a positive test proves Ze does what the requirement demands and a negative one proves it refuses what the requirement forbids

One polarity plus reason23.5%8 of 34 gated MUSTs

the requirement admits no counter-case, so one polarity plus a recorded reason is the whole proof available for it

One polarity, unexcused0.0%0 of 34 gated MUSTs

one direction is tested, the other is neither tested nor excused, and nothing states which

Partial proof; remaining gap0.0%0 of 34 gated MUSTs

scoped tests exist; the remaining obligation is unmet or unproven, with zero whole-requirement credit

Proven by a recorded break12.5%1 of 8 tagged units

a red was observed once under a recorded procedure, and the unit, the claim and the producer it rested on still hash to what was recorded. The break is not re-run. A test pair is not a proof until one has been observed

Neutral

measures that are neither good news nor bad

Gated MUSTs34of 68 this summary declares

MUST-level requirements the gate HOLDS. A population, not a result: the shares beside it are what says how Ze stands

Out of scope25of 34 gated MUSTs

an obligation that does not bind Ze. A {not-applicable} annotation says it never bound; a {feature-declined} annotation says its condition is an optional feature Ze does not offer, and quotes the RFC sentence that makes it optional. Scope, not coverage: it stays in the denominator every share on this page is taken over

Not applicable73.5%25 of 34 gated MUSTs

a {not-applicable} annotation says the obligation does not bind Ze, so no test is owed for it. It stays in the denominator every share here is taken over

Met below Ze0.0%0 of 34 gated MUSTs

a {lower-layer} annotation says a layer under Ze performs the behavior, on state Ze installs into that layer, and names the producer that installs it. The obligation binds Ze and is met; Ze proves none of it, because its own boundary carries no value the behavior reads

Optional feature declined0.0%0 of 34 gated MUSTs

a {feature-declined} annotation says the obligation is conditional on a feature the RFC makes optional and Ze does not offer, and it quotes the sentence that makes it optional. The condition is false, so nothing is owed and nothing is missing. It stays in the denominator every share here is taken over

Negative

what Ze owes

No test at all2.9%1 of 34 gated MUSTs

no test carries the requirement id, whether or not a gap states why

The 8 shares marked as a part above are the whole of the 34 gated MUSTs: they add to 100%. Proven by a recorded break is a share of TAGGED UNITS, a different population, so it is not one of them.

How to read the colors

A color names what the measure MEANS, not how well Ze scores on it. Green is a good outcome at any value, red is a bad one, and neither a population nor a scope count is an outcome, so both take no color. The number under the label is what says how far Ze has got.

CardTone hereWhy that color
Gated MUSTs neutral no color: a population is a scale, and a larger one is neither good news nor bad. It is the accounting total
Out of scope neutral no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim
Tested both ways ok green at every value: a test pair is the outcome this gate exists to produce, and the share under the label is what says how far Ze has got
One polarity plus reason ok green at every value: where no counter-case exists, one polarity IS the complete answer, and a recorded reason is what the gate demands beside it
One polarity, unexcused ok green at zero, RED above it: half a proof with no reason for the other half
Partial proof; remaining gap ok green at zero, RED above it: a tested clause cannot prove the whole requirement
No test at all bad green at zero, RED above it: a binding obligation nothing exercises is a claim with nothing behind it, whether or not a reason is stated
Not applicable neutral no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim
Met below Ze neutral no color: an obligation met below Ze is neither a test Ze wrote nor work Ze owes, and the two green shares above are what says how much Ze proves itself
Optional feature declined neutral no color: an obligation whose condition Ze never meets is neither an achievement nor a failure. The absent FEATURE is disclosed on the RFC's own status row, as an implementation gap a later scope decision can revisit
Proven by a recorded break ok green at every value: an observed break is the outcome the discrimination gate exists to produce. The denominator is TAGGED UNITS, not obligations, so this share is not one of the parts above
Audit verdicts warn RED on the first weak, wrong or unimplemented verdict, amber while a verdict is no longer current or a gated MUST is unjudged, green when every one is judged sound and current

Enrolment

Enrolled: DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions (RFC 2132): DHCP server option TLV encoding. 8 single-polarity positive (subnet mask before router, router/DNS length multiple of 4, every option carries a length octet, unrecognized vendor-specific/class-specific info ignored, PXE class prefix-match) + 1 gap (RFC2132-9.8-1 Parameter Request List option 55 not honored, fixed option order) + 25 not-applicable (length MUSTs for options ze never emits, client-identifier uniqueness is a client obligation)

What the public ledger says

Status: Partial

What the ledger says is covered
  • DHCP server encodes options 1, 3, 6, 15, 51, 53, 54, 58, 59 and PXE options 43/60/66/67
  • it parses received message type (53), requested IP (50), server identifier (54), and PXE class/arch (60/77/93). Tests bound per requirement in rfc/requirements/rfc2132.md.
What the ledger says remains One MUST gap, tracked in rfc/short/rfc2132.md: RFC2132-9.8-1 -- the server emits a fixed option set in a fixed order (buildReply internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go) and never reads the client Parameter Request List (option 55), so it does not honor the client-requested option order.

RFC2132-3.3-1If both the subnet mask and the router option are specified in a DHCP reply, the subnet mask option MUST be first. (§3.3)
MUST 3.3
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ze constructs every OFFER/ACK with the subnet mask (option 1) emitted before the router (option 3) in fixed code order (buildReply internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:251 then :255); no code path emits them reversed, so there is no out-of-order output to assert as a negative

RFC2132-3.5-1The minimum length for the router option is 4 octets, and the length MUST always be a multiple of 4. (§3.5)
MUST 3.5
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ze emits option 3 from a single netip.Addr via As4() = exactly 4 octets (buildReply internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:255), so the router option length is always a multiple of 4 and no code path can emit a non-multiple-of-4 router option to test negatively

RFC2132-3.8-1The minimum length for this option is 4 octets, and the length MUST always be a multiple of 4. (§3.8)
MUST 3.8
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ze emits option 6 by concatenating 4-octet As4() addresses (buildReply internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:258-264), so the DNS option length is always 4*n and no code path can emit a non-multiple-of-4 DNS option to test negatively

{single-polarity}: every option ze emits goes through safeAppendOption, which writes the length octet before the data on every path (internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go); no input selects a path that omits it, so there is no refusal to assert

{single-polarity}: ze reads ASCII-carrying options 60 and 77 only by fixed-prefix match (isPXEClient internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:493, isIPXE handler.go:498), so a trailing NUL never corrupts interpretation; no ze receive path rejects or mishandles ASCII option data because of a trailing NUL, so there is no negative case

RFC2132-2-3The receiver MUST NOT require that a trailing null be included in the data. (§2)

negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ze's ASCII-option receiver prefix-matches options 60 and 77 (isPXEClient internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:493, isIPXE handler.go:498) and so never requires a trailing NUL; option data without one is accepted, and there is no ze path that demands a trailing NUL to test negatively

RFC2132-8.4-1Servers not equipped to interpret the vendor-specific information sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). (§8.4)
MUST 8.4
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ze never reads a received option 43 -- vendor-specific information appears only in ze's Tx path (handler.go:325) and the option-parse loop skips any code it does not request (parseMsgType/parseOptionBytes advance past unrequested options, internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:367-403), so ze ignores client vendor-specific info and no code path interprets or rejects it

RFC2132-9.13-1Servers not equipped to interpret the class-specific information sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). (§9.13)
MUST 9.13
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ze inspects option 60 only for the "PXEClient:" prefix (isPXEClient internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:493-496); any other vendor class yields false and no class-specific handling, so an unrecognized class is ignored and no code path rejects a packet on class content to test negatively

RFC2132-9.8-1The DHCP server is not required to return the options in the requested order, but MUST try to insert the requested options in the order requested by the client. (§9.8)

{gap}: ze emits a fixed option set in a fixed order (buildReply internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go:245-285) and never reads the client Parameter Request List (option 55 is defined at handler.go:52 but parsed nowhere in production), so it does not try to insert requested options in the client's requested order

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-8.19-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-8.20-1

The minimum length for this option is 4 octets, and the length MUST always be a multiple of 4. (§8.20)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-8.20-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-8.21-1

The minimum length for this option is 4 octets, and the length MUST always be a multiple of 4. (§8.21)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-8.21-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-4.7-1

Its minimum length is 2, and the length MUST be a multiple of 2. (§4.7)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-4.7-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-4.3-1

The minimum length of this option is 8, and the length MUST be a multiple of 8. (§4.3)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-4.3-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-5.8-1

The minimum length of this option is 8, and the length MUST be a multiple of 8. (§5.8)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-5.8-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-2-5

In the case of some variable-length options the length field is a constant but must still be specified. (§2)

Audit verdict: enforced (the tests do what the requirement demands), fresh. single-polarity positive is valid: safeAppendOption writes the length octet on its only write path and no input selects an omission. TestEveryEmittedOptionHasLengthOctet walks the OFFER by length octets to End and now pins the constant length of 53 (1) and 54, 1, 51, 58, 59 (4), so an omitted or wrong length octet goes red

RFC2132-2-2

the receiver of such options MUST be prepared to delete trailing nulls if they exist. (§2)

Audit verdict: enforced (the tests do what the requirement demands), fresh. TestASCIIOptionParsingTolerantOfTrailingNull feeds option 60 and 77 values with a trailing NUL to isPXEClient/isIPXE (the only ze receivers of ASCII option data) and asserts they are still recognized; an exact-equality matcher without NUL deletion fails it

PolarityTestKind and tierProof state
positive TestASCIIOptionParsingTolerantOfTrailingNull unit/verify unproven

RFC2132-2-3

The receiver MUST NOT require that a trailing null be included in the data. (§2)

Audit verdict: enforced (the tests do what the requirement demands), fresh. TestASCIIOptionParsingTolerantOfTrailingNull asserts option 60 and 77 values without a trailing NUL are recognized by isPXEClient/isIPXE; a receiver requiring the NUL fails it

PolarityTestKind and tierProof state
positive TestASCIIOptionParsingTolerantOfTrailingNull unit/verify unproven

RFC2132-8.4-1

Servers not equipped to interpret the vendor-specific information sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). (§8.4)

Audit verdict: enforced (the tests do what the requirement demands), fresh. TestIgnoresClientVendorSpecificOption43 asserts the OFFER for a DISCOVER carrying client option 43 is byte-identical to the OFFER without it, through handle(); any action on or rejection of option 43 fails it

PolarityTestKind and tierProof state
positive TestIgnoresClientVendorSpecificOption43 unit/verify unproven

RFC2132-9.13-1

Servers not equipped to interpret the class-specific information sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). (§9.13)

Audit verdict: enforced (the tests do what the requirement demands), fresh. TestIgnoresUnknownVendorClass (PXE enabled) asserts an unrecognized vendor class 'MSFT 5.0' yields an OFFER byte-identical to one without option 60 and no option 66/67; class-driven handling fails it

PolarityTestKind and tierProof state
positive TestIgnoresUnknownVendorClass unit/verify unproven

RFC2132-9.8-1

The DHCP server is not required to return the options in the requested order, but MUST try to insert the requested options in the order requested by the client. (§9.8)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-9.8-1, so no unit is bound to it.

RFC2132-9.14-1

For correct identification of clients, each client's client- identifier MUST be unique among the client-identifiers used on the subnet to which the client is attached. (§9.14)

Audit verdict: not audited: no reader has judged these tests

No test carries RFC2132-9.14-1, so no unit is bound to it.

Presumed wrong until justified: Ze rarely implements one side of a protocol, so the reason beside this row must name the role, show Ze never acts as it, and cite the producer that would.
binds the authors of option definitions published after RFC 2132, which Ze does not write; Ze sends only options RFC 2132 itself defines (buildReply, appendPXEOptions in internal/plugins/dhcpserver/handler.go). Row RFC2132-2-1 is retired (rfc/corrections/rfc2132.md) Any options defined subsequent to this document MUST contain a length octet even if the length is fixed or zero.

Superseded

No document obsoletes RFC 2132, so its obligations are stated where they were written.
