Joe,
If you lab this up and run debug dhcp packets on R4, it's interesting to see
that R4 never sends out any dhcp packets (even though it does get it
address originally from the dhcp server.).
In fact, with the current release of IOS, the dhcp client function is NOT
supported on isdn interfaces.
What happens is this:
When the isdn circuit comes up because ppp is configured on the isdn
link, ppp, not dhcp, is responsible for negotiating an ip address for R4's
bri interface.
However, R5 acts as a dhcp client proxy for R4 and issues a dhcp discover
packet to R1 to get an ip address for R4.
I haven't been able to piece together the exact sequence of events from the
debugs
but, I'm pretty confident that at a high level that's what's happening - at
least when
R4 is configured with ip address nego and R5 is configured with dhcp-server
x.x.x.x
Pretty interesting, right?
Tim
