Lab 04: DHCP - nataneliezer/tech-journal GitHub Wiki

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is used for assignign host ip addresses automatically rather than manually. A client will contact the server asking for an ip address (DHCP Discovery). The server will then offer the client an ip address (DHCP Offer). The client then asks for the ip (DHCP Request). Lastly the server will aknoledge the request and set the client as an ip address (DHCP ACK)
