DHCP Basic

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows a server to automatically assign IP addresses to computers from a defined range. When a client requests an IP address, the DHCP server chooses one from its address pool and offers it to the client. If accepted, the address is leased to the client for a specified duration. The DHCP server provides the client with the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other configuration information. Installing and configuring the DHCP server role involves adding the role, selecting the server, defining an address pool or scope, and configuring options like lease duration, default gateway, and DNS servers.

Protocol)
DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol


that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a
computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured
for a given network.
 A computer on which we install DHCP role is called ‘DHCP Server’
which start assigning IP to all computer in network. A pool is defined
while configuring DHCP server that contains all possible IP’S to
distribute among computers.
 When a DHCP server receives a request from a client, it chooses an IP
address and other related information from a pool of addresses known
as a scope and offers it to the client.
 If the client accepts the address offered, the IP addressing
information is leased to it for a specified duration. During this time,
the client renews the address assignment each time it logs on to the
network.
DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

 The DHCP server provides the client with the following configuration information:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Default gateway
 Clients must be enabled to use DHCP by clicking Obtain an IP address
automatically in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
 DHCP has a number of advantages:
 1) There is no need to manually configure each client with an IP address.
 2) You don't need to keep a record of the IP addresses that you have assigned.
 3) You can release the IP address of a computer that is offline and reassign the
address to another computer.
