server
• DHCP server automatically
assigns a computer an:
• IP address, Subnet mask,
Default gateway, and
DNS server

Dynamic IP •The DHCP server assigns the


IP address a lease

•A lease is the amount of time


an IP address is assigned to a
computer

•The lease is to help make sure


the DHCP server does not run
out of IP addresses
•DHCP is a service that runs on a server such as:
Microsoft server or Linux server
•It also runs on routers
•DHCP scenario
DHCP •host broadcasts DHCP discover msg [optional]
server •DHCP server responds with DHCP offer msg
[optional]
•host requests IP address: DHCP request msg
•DHCP server sends address: DHCP ack msg
•The first two steps in the DHCP
protocol (Discover and Offer
messages) are optional (in the
sense that they need not always
be used when, for example, a
new IP address is needed, or an

Wireshark existing DHCP address is to be


renewed)

capture of
•The Request and ACK
messages are not optional.
•In order to collect a trace that

DHCP will contain all four DHCP


message types, we’ll need to take
a few command line actions as

messages follows:
• In a command-line window
enter the following command:
•> ipconfig /release
• This command will cause
your PC to give up its IP
address.
• Start up Wireshark.
• In the command-line window
enter the following command:
• > ipconfig /renew
DHCP • Host broadcasts
