Module 9: Dynamic Addressing with DHCP Flashcards
this is a list of addresses that it may hand out to hosts
what are the
pool / range of addresses
held by a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
describe the IP and MAC addressing during a
DHCPDISCOVER
the addressing at this point would be:
Source IP: 0.0.0.0
Destination IP: 255.255.255.255
Source MAC: DHCP Client Machine MAC Address
Destination MAC: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
the addressing at this point would be
(hint: this is the first message sent by the DHCP server):
Source IP: DHCP Server IP Address
Destination IP: 255.255.255.255
Source MAC: DHCP Server Machine MAC Address
Destination MAC: DHCP client MAC Address
note
the message is broadcast at network layer only
describe the IP and MAC addressing during a
DHCPOFFER
what are the 4 steps involved in a
host obtaining and configuring an IP address from a DHCP server
and what is the accronym
the steps involved in this are:
- DHCPDISCOVER D
- DHCPOFFER O
- DHCPREQUEST R
- DHCPACK A
this can be remembered by using the accronym
DORA
no a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server server does not necessarily have to be on the same network as the host. However, the router of the hosts network must be configured to forward DHCP messages
does a host have to be on the same network as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
in order to aquire an IP address from it
what is a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
used for
this is used on a network so that hosts may obtain an IP address from it automatically
describe what takes place during the
DHCPREQUEST
during this stage the host sends a message back to the DHCP server telling it that it is happy with the configuration and would like to set them
at this stage the addressing would be:
Source IP: 0.0.0.0
Destination IP: 255.255.255.255
Source MAC: DHCP Client Machine MAC Address
Destination MAC: DHCP Server MAC Address
describe the IP and MAC addressing during a
DHCPREQUEST
describe the IP and MAC addressing during a
DHCPOFFER
the addressing at this point would be
(hint: this is the first message sent by the DHCP server):
Source IP: DHCP Server IP Address
Destination IP: 255.255.255.255
Source MAC: DHCP Server Machine MAC Address
Destination MAC: DHCP client MAC Address
note
the message is broadcast at network layer only
this is a broadcast message sent by a host requiring an IP address
describe what takes place during a
DHCPDISCOVER
at this stage the DHCP server will be responding to the clients DHCPREQUEST
it is a confirmation message saying that ok i will add you to my list and you can go ahead and set the configuartions i sent you already
once this message has been sent the client will configure its IP settings and the DHCP server will make a note of the client
describe what happens during a
DHCPACK
describe what takes place during a
DHCPDISCOVER
this is a broadcast message sent by a host requiring an IP address
this takes place after a DHCP server has received a DHCPREQUEST
it will then process the request and send a message back to the client containing IP configuartions
describe what takes place during a
DHCPOFFER
the steps involved in this are:
- DHCPDISCOVER D
- DHCPOFFER O
- DHCPREQUEST R
- DHCPACK A
this can be remembered by using the accronym
