<div><p>DHCP interacts with clients and works in a network.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>DHCP provides an automated method for dynamic client configuration. Clients
|
||
|
|
that are DHCP enabled automatically obtain their own IP address and configuration
|
||
|
|
parameters from the server. This process occurs through a series of steps.</p>

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptinteract.htm">DHCP client-server interaction</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A client gets the DHCP information from the server, and specific messages are sent between the client and the server. DHCP obtains and returns leases.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptleases.htm">Leases</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You can find what DHCP leases are and some questions are provided for you to consider when determining the lease time for your DHCP clients.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptrelayrouter.htm">Relay agents and routers</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You might need to use a DHCP relay agent in your network; sometimes a router is sufficient. You can use both a DHCP relay agent and a router to efficiently and securely transfer data throughout the network.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptsupport.htm">DHCP client support</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Using DHCP, you can manage each client in your network individually, rather than managing all of the clients as a large group (subnet).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptbootp.htm">BOOTP</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
This topic describes what BOOTP is, and gives some history about BOOTP and DHCP.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptddns.htm">Dynamic updates</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You can use your DHCP server in conjunction with your DNS server to dynamically update the client information in the DNS when DHCP assigns the client an IP address.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakgconceptoptions.htm">DHCP options lookup</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
DHCP has many configuration options that can be sent to the client when they request information from the DHCP server. You can use a lookup tool that describes all of the DHCP options.</li>
