    ELO 11-

    Configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) using relevant software.


    Objective(s)-

    1. It gives information about DHCP.


    2. This assignment explains configuration of DHCP using packet Tracer.

    Theory-

    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to


    dynamically assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to any device, or node, on a network so they can
    communicate using IP. DHCP automates and centrally manages these configurations rather than
    requiring network administrators to manually assign IP addresses to all network devices. DHCP can be
    implemented on small local networks as well as large enterprise networks.

    DHCP will assign new IP addresses in each location when devices are moved from place to
    place, which means network administrators do not have to manually initially configure each device with
    a valid IP address or reconfigure the device with a new IP address if it moves to a new location on the
    network. Versions of DHCP are available for use in Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet
    Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

    How DHCP works?

    DHCP runs at the application layer of the Transmission Control Protocol/IP (TCP/IP) protocol stack to
    dynamically assign IP addresses to DHCP clients and to allocate TCP/IP configuration information to
    DHCP clients. This includes subnet mask information, default gateway IP addresses and domain name
    system (DNS) addresses.

    DHCP is a client-server protocol in which servers manage a pool of unique IP addresses, as well as
    information about client configuration parameters, and assign addresses out of those address pools.
    DHCP-enabled clients send a request to the DHCP server whenever they connect to a network.

    Clients configured with DHCP broadcast a request to the DHCP server and request network
    configuration information for the local network to which they're attached. A client typically broadcasts a
    query for this information immediately after booting up. The DHCP server responds to the client request
    by providing IP configuration information previously specified by a network administrator. This
    includes a specific IP address as well as for the time period, also called a lease, for which the allocation
    is valid. When refreshing an assignment, a DHCP client requests the same parameters, but the DHCP
    server may assign a new IP address based on policies set by administrators.

    A DHCP server manages a record of all the IP addresses it allocates to network nodes. If a node is
    relocated in the network, the server identifies it using its Media Access Control (MAC) address, which
    prevents accidentally configuring multiple devices with the same IP address.

    DHCP is not a routable protocol, nor is it a secure one. DHCP is limited to a specific local area network
    (LAN), which means a single DHCP server per LAN is adequate, or two servers for use in case of a
    failover. Larger networks may have a wide area network (WAN) containing multiple individual
    locations. Depending on the connections between these points and the number of clients in each
    location, multiple DHCP servers can be set up to handle the distribution of addresses. If network
    administrators want a DHCP server to provide addressing to multiple subnets on a given network, they
    must configure DHCP relay services located on interconnecting routers that DHCP requests have to
    cross. These agents relay messages between DHCP clients and servers located on different subnets.

    DHCP lacks any built-in mechanism that would allow clients and servers to authenticate each other.
    Both are vulnerable to deception (one computer pretending to be another) and to attack, where rogue
    clients can exhaust a DHCP server's IP address poo
