DHCP implementation in the Servo Drive 9400
6.3.2 DHCP network architecture
6.3.3 DHCP operating mode
DHCP is a client-server architecture. The DHCP server has access to a pool of IP addresses,
which it can freely assign to the DHCP clients. For larger networks, the DHCP server also
needs to know which subnetworks and gateways are available.
[6-4] DHCP operating mode
In the first step, the client transmits a "DHCP discover broadcast", which searches for
the server.
The server responds to the client with a "DHCP offer" (unicast). This message contains
the IP address, subnet mask, lease time and other information for the client.
The client then accepts this data and reports this situation to the server by means of a
"DHCP request" message.
The server completes the DHCP configuration with a "DHCP acknowledge" message.
This message contains the server IP address, client IP address, lease time, subnet mask
and other configuration information.
