Figure 5-17 Network diagram of DHCP

For different DHCP clients, DHCP server provides three IP address assigning methods:

(1)Manually assign the IP address: Allows the administrator to bind the static IP address to a

specific client (e.g.: WWW Server) via the DHCP server.

(2)Automatically assign the IP address: DHCP server assigns the IP address without an expiry time limitation to the clients.

(3)Dynamically assign the IP address: DHCP server assigns the IP address with an expiry time. When the time for the IP address expired, the client should apply for a new one.

Most clients obtain IP addresses dynamically, which is illustrated in the following figure.

Figure 5-18 Interaction between a DHCP client and a DHCP server

1DHCP-DISCOVER Stage: The Client broadcasts the DHCP-DISCOVER packet to find the DHCP server.

2DHCP-OFFER Stage: Upon receiving the DHCP-DISCOVER packet, the DHCP server selects an IP address from the IP pool according to the assigning priority of the IP addresses and replies to the client with DHCP-OFFER packet carrying the IP address and other information.

3DHCP-REQUEST Stage: In the situation that there are several DHCP servers sending the DHCP-OFFER packets, the client will only respond to the first received DHCP-OFFER
