Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol ( DHCP )
IT304 COMPUTER NETWORKS
ARP ( Address Resolution Protocol )
ARP ( Con. )
● ARP associates an IP address with its physical address. On a
typical physical network, such as a LAN, each device on a link is
identified by a physical or station address that is usually imprinted
on the NIC.

● Logical address to physical address translation can be done statically


(not practical) or dynamically (with ARP).
RARP ( Reverse ARP )
● RARP finds the logical address for a machine that only knows its
physical address.

● This if often encountered on thin-client workstations. No disk, so


when machine is booted, it needs to know its IP address (don't want to
burn the IP address into the ROM).

● RARP requests are broadcast, RARP replies are unicast.


BootP ( Bootstrap Protocol )
● BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an internet protocol that lets a network
user automatically be configured to receive an IP address and have an
operating system booted without user involvement.

● The BOOTP server, managed by a network administrator, automatically


assigns the IP address from a pool of addresses for a certain duration of
time.

● Today, BOOTP is executed using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and is the
basis for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
DHCP ( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol )
● DHCP Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

● DHCP is a protocol that automatically provides an IP host with its IP


address and other related configuration information ( subnet mask
default gateway DNS etc.)

● Works on Protocol UDP port no 67 and 68.

Advantages of DHCP
● To implement DHCP requires no additional costs.

● Duplicated IP addresses are prevented.

● Reduces the amount of time you spend configuring computers on


your network.

● DHCP servers only allocate IP addresses to clients when they


request them.
