IT Interview Questions: Describe the steps taken by the client and DHCP
server in order to obtain an IP address. ?
DHCP uses a client-server model. The network administrator establishes one or
more DHCP servers that maintain TCP/IP configuration information and provide
it to clients. The server database includes the following: Valid
configuration parameters for all clients on the network. Valid IP addresses
maintained in a pool for assignment to clients, plus reserved addresses for
manual assignment.
Duration of a lease offered by the server. The lease defines the length of
time for which the assigned IP address can be used. With a DHCP server
installed and configured on your network, DHCP-enabled clients can obtain
their IP address and related configuration parameters dynamically each time
they start and join your network. DHCP servers provide this configuration in
the form of an addresslease offer to requesting clients.
