16 DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows dynamic configuration of a host computer.
When a DHCP client is turned on, it initially does not have an IP address assigned to it. It issues
a broadcast message to any DCHP servers which are on the network. An exchange takes place
during which the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the client and tells the client certain key
network configuration parameters.
Many Internet service providers (ISPs) require that their customers use a DHCP client so the ISP
may dynamically assign IP addresses and control other network settings. Another use is for
laptop computers which may be connected to more than one network. For example a laptop may
be connected to a network in the office and also at home. This is an ideal use for DHCP as the
laptop doesn't need to be manually reconfigured for use in the 2 different networks. In this case,
there needs to be a DHCP server both on the office network and the home network and the
laptop needs a DHCP client.
The list of CLI commands for the configuration of DHCP is as follows:
DHCP Client
release
renew
debug ip dhcp client
show ip dhcp client stats
DHCP Relay
service dhcp-relay
ip dhcp server
ip dhcp relay information option
ip dhcp relay circuit-id
ip dhcp relay remote-id
debug ip dhcp relay
show ip dhcp relay information
show dhcp server
