Here we go <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2131>: * Client sends out DHCPDISCOVER. The only IP address involved is the local-net broadcast address, 255.255.255.255, which is non-routable. * Server responds with DHCPOFFER. Since there is no IP address it can route this response to, it, too, is non-routable. * The client may send out ARP broadcasts to ensure nobody else has already claimed the offered address. * The client accepts an offered address with DHCPREQUEST, which, again, is sent to the (non-routable) broadcast address. * The server responds with DHCPACK or DHCPNAK. Remember, the client’s IP stack can not be considered to be fully operational until after all these steps have been completed.
