    3 What is a DHCP?

     DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to


    dynamically assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to devices, or nodes, on a network so
    they can communicate

     DHCP allows hosts to obtain required TCP/IP configuration information from a DHCP
    server,

     DHCP automates and centrally manages these configurations rather than requiring network
    administrators to manually assign IP addresses to all network devices

     DHCP can be implemented on small local networks, as well as large enterprise networks.
    4 How does DHCP work?
     DHCP runs at the application layer of the Transmission Control Protocol/IP (TCP/IP) stack
    to dynamically assign IP addresses to DHCP clients and to allocate TCP/IP configuration
    information to DHCP clients

     This includes subnet mask information, default gateway IP addresses and domain name


    system (DNS) addresses.

     DHCP servers manage a pool of unique IP addresses, as well as information about client
    configuration parameters, and assign addresses out of those address pools.

     DHCP-enabled clients send a request to the DHCP server whenever they connect to a
    network.

    6 Components of DHCP
     DHCP Server: This is a networked device running the DCHP service that holds IP addresses and
    related configuration information

     DHCP Client: This endpoint software requests and receives configuration information from a
    DHCP server

     IP Address Pool: The range of IP addresses that are available to DHCP clients is the IP address.
    Addresses are typically handed out sequentially from lowest to highest.

     Lease: The length of time for which a DHCP client holds the IP address information is known as
    the lease. When a lease expires, the client must renew it

     DHCP Relay: A router or host that listens for client messages being broadcast on that network and
    then forwards them to a configured server is the DHCP relay. The server then sends responses back
    to the relay agent that passes them along to the client.

    Benefits of DHCP
     Reliable IP address configuration: DHCP eliminates human error so that address conflicts,
    configuration errors, or simple typos are minimized.

     Reduced network administration: DHCP provides centralized and automated TCP/IP


    configuration. By deploying a DHCP relay agent, a DHCP server is not needed on every subnet.

     Mobility: DHCP efficiently handles IP address changes for users on portable devices who move to
    different locations on wired or wireless networks.

     IP address optimization: DHCP not only assigns addresses, it automatically takes them back and
    returns them to the pool when they are no longer being used.

     Efficient change management: DHCP makes it simple for an organization to change its IP address
    scheme from one range of addresses to another. DHCP enables network administrators to make
    those changes without disrupting end users.
    8 Drawbacks of DHCP

     Devices must support DHCP configurations. If the DHCP server for the network is down,
    the connected device will also be down.

     Tracing internet activity may be difficult as the same machine may have two or more
    different IP addresses over a period of time.

     Not having a static IP means computers with DHCP cannot be used as servers as their IP
    will change
    9 Conclusion

     In a nutshell, the main theme of this presentation is to make you all clear
    regarding the topic, DHCP. Here, I explained about the DHCP, its working
    mechanism, the various components of DHCP and at last the benefits of DHCP.
    At last, I would again want to thank our tutor, Mr. Roshan Kandel for providing
    this opportunity.
