DHCP

• DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Config Protocol.
• Dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices using a domain network.
• Automatically configures new hosts within a domain.
• IP pool: Range of IPs available for assignment by the DHCP server.
• Scope: Includes IP Pool, DHCP configs, etc.

How it Works

• DHCP Release: DHCP Reassigns an IP
• DHCP Discovery: New system in a domain asks the network for a IP address from the network.
• DHCP Offer: The DHCP offers a IP address to the new system.
• Request: The new system acknowledges that it wants the IP.
• DHCP ACK: DHCP server assigns the IP to the new system.
