Exp7 DHCP Writeup

The document discusses DHCP and its components and functions. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is used to automatically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, router addresses, and DNS addresses to clients on a network. It operates on a client-server model and uses leases to assign temporary IP addresses. Key components include DHCP servers, clients, relays, address pools, subnets, and options.

Title: To install and configure Domain Name Server in Cisco packet tracer.

.Pre-requisite: Basic concept of DNS records and basic commands of Ubuntu Linux.
Apparatus: Cisco packet tracer.

Theory:
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is the critical feature on which the
users of an enterprise network communicate. DHCP helps enterprises to smoothly manage the
allocation of IP addresses to the end-user clients’ devices such as desktops, laptops,
cellphones, etc. is an application layer protocol that is used to provide:
Subnet Mask (Option 1 - e.g., 255.255.255.0)
Router Address (Option 3 - e.g., 192.168.1.1)
DNS Address (Option 6 - e.g., 8.8.8.8)
Vendor Class Identifier (Option 43 - e.g.,
'unifi' = 192.168.1.9 ##where unifi = controller)
DHCP is based on a client-server model and based on discovery, offer, request, and ACK.

Why Use DHCP?


DHCP helps in managing the entire process automatically and centrally. DHCP helps in
maintaining a unique IP Address for a host using the server. DHCP servers maintain
information on TCP/IP configuration and provide configuration of address to DHCP-enabled
clients in the form of a lease offer.
Components of DHCP
The main components of DHCP include:
 DHCP Server: DHCP Server is basically a server that holds IP Addresses and other
information related to configuration.
 DHCP Client: It is basically a device that receives configuration information from the
server. It can be a mobile, laptop, computer, or any other electronic device that requires a
connection.
 DHCP Relay: DHCP relays basically work as a communication channel between DHCP
Client and Server.
 IP Address Pool: It is the pool or container of IP Addresses possessed by the DHCP
Server. It has a range of addresses that can be allocated to devices.
 Subnets: Subnets are smaller portions of the IP network partitioned to keep networks
under control.

 Lease: It is simply the time that how long the information received from the server is
valid, in case of expiration of the lease, the tenant must have to re-assign the lease.
 DNS Servers: DHCP servers can also provide DNS (Domain Name System) server
information to DHCP clients, allowing them to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
 Default Gateway: DHCP servers can also provide information about the default gateway,
which is the device that packets are sent to when the destination is outside the local
network.
 Options: DHCP servers can provide additional configuration options to clients, such as
the subnet mask, domain name, and time server information.
 Renewal: DHCP clients can request to renew their lease before it expires to ensure that
they continue to have a valid IP address and configuration information.
 Failover: DHCP servers can be configured for failover, where two servers work together
to provide redundancy and ensure that clients can always obtain an IP address and
configuration information, even if one server goes down.
 Dynamic Updates: DHCP servers can also be configured to dynamically update DNS
records with the IP address of DHCP clients, allowing for easier management of network
resources.
 Audit Logging: DHCP servers can keep audit logs of all DHCP transactions, providing
administrators with visibility into which devices are using which IP addresses and when
leases are being assigned or renewed.
