All rights reserved. Cisco Public ITE 1 Chapter 6 3 Introducing DHCP Every device that connects to a network needs an IP address. Network administrators assign static IP addresses to routers, servers, and other network devices whose locations (physical and logical) are not likely to change. Administrators enter static IP addresses manually when they configure devices to join the network. Static addresses also enable administrators to manage those devices remotely. However, computers in an organization often change locations, physically and logically. Administrators are unable to keep up with having to assign new IP addresses every time an employee moves to a different office or cubicle. Desktop clients do not require a static address. Instead, a workstation can use any address within a range of addresses. This range is typically within an IP subnet DHCP assigns IP addresses and other important network configuration information dynamically. Because desktop clients typically make up the bulk of network nodes, DHCP is an extremely useful and timesaving tool for network administrators. RFC 2131 describes DHCP.

Cisco Public ITE 1 Chapter 6 4 Introducing DHCP Administrators typically prefer a network server to offer DHCP services, because these solutions are scalable and relatively easy to manage. However, in a small branch or SOHO location, a Cisco router can be configured to provide DHCP services without the need for an expensive dedicated server. A Cisco IOS feature set called Easy IP offers an optional, full-featured DHCP server. Cisco Thai Nguyen Networking Academy © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public ITE 1 Chapter 6 5 DHCP Operation Providing IP addresses to clients is the most fundamental task performed by a DHCP server. DHCP includes three different address allocation mechanisms to provide flexibility when assigning IP addresses: Manual Allocation: The administrator assigns a pre-allocated IP address to the client and DHCP only communicates the IP address to the device. Automatic Allocation: DHCP automatically assigns a static IP address permanently to a device, selecting it from a pool of available addresses. There is no lease and the address is permanently assigned to a device. Dynamic Allocation: DHCP automatically dynamically assigns, or leases, an IP address from a pool of addresses for a limited period of time chosen by the server, or until the client tells the DHCP server that it no longer needs the address.

Cisco Public ITE 1 Chapter 6 6 BOOTP vs. DHCP The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), defined in RFC 951, is the predecessor of DHCP and shares some operational characteristics. BOOTP is a way to download address and boot configurations for diskless workstations. A diskless workstation does not have a hard drive or an operating system. For example, many automated cash register systems at your local supermarket are examples of diskless workstations Both DHCP and BOOTP are client/server based and use UDP ports 67 and 68. Those ports are still known as BOOTP ports. Cisco Thai Nguyen Networking Academy © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public ITE 1 Chapter 6 7 BOOTP vs. DHCP There are three primary differences between DHCP and BOOTP: The main difference is that BOOTP was designed for manual pre-configuration of the host information in a server database, while DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached hosts. DHCP allows for recovery and reallocation of network addresses through a leasing mechanism. Specifically, DHCP defines mechanisms through which clients can be assigned an IP address for a finite lease period. This lease period allows for reassignment of the IP address to another client later, or for the client to get another assignment if the client moves to another subnet. Clients may also renew leases and keep the same IP address. BOOTP does not use leases. BOOTP provides a limited amount of information to a host. DHCP provides additional IP configuration parameters, such as WINS and domain name Cisco Thai Nguyen Networking Academy © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public ITE 1 Chapter 6 8 DHCP Server Configuration Cisco routers running Cisco IOS software provide full support for a router to act as a DHCP server. The Cisco IOS DHCP server assigns and manages IP addresses from specified address pools within the router to DHCP clients. Cisco Thai Nguyen Networking Academy © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.
