Abstract
Systems, devices and techniques for operating a server in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) include receiving a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) control message from a demarcation device, processing the DHCP control message depending on a target mode of operation, such that when the DHCP control message is inconsistent with the target mode of operation, the DHCP control message is dropped and when the DHCP control message is consistent with the target mode of operation, the DHCP control message is forwarded to the EPON and indicating, to the demarcation device, the target mode of operation by including a Mode Select Option field in a DHCP response message to the demarcation device.
