Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup) 7-9
Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and compatibility
problems. DHCP is an alternative to BOOTP, which reduces the agony of assigning static IP
addresses and also provides advanced configuration options.
Note: The figure on the next page may help you understand how DHCP assigns an IP
address.
Figure of DHCP Addressing
1 The client asks DHCP server for IP address and configuration if needed.
2 The DHCP server assigns an available IP address to client.
3 The client takes IP address from DHCP server and requests any additional configuration
needed.
4 DHCP server confirms IP address and configuration.
