3.4 DHCP Client
3.4.1 Introduction
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) refers to assign IP address configuration
information dynamically for users in TCP/IP network. It is based on BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) protocol, and automatically adds the specified available network address, network
address re-use, and other extended configuration options over BOOTP protocol.
With enlargement of network scale and development of network complexity, quantity of PC in
network usually exceeds available distributed IP address amount. Meanwhile, the widely use
of notebooks and wireless networks lead to frequent change of PC positions and also the
related IP address must update frequently. As a result, network configuration becomes more
and more complex. DHCP is developed to solve these problems.
DHCP adopts client/server communication mode. The client applies configuration to the
server (including IP address, Subnet mask, default gateway) and server replies IP address for
client and other related configuration information to realize dynamic configuration of IP
address, etc.
