1The AP sends a DHCP Discover message from the AP’s port 1.

2DHCP server receives the Discover message (through a relay agent) and replies with a DHCP Offer message containing IP address for the AP, the gateway IP address for the AP’s IP subnet, the DNS server address, and the domain name. AP then sends a DHCP Request message to the server and receives an Ack from the server.
