5.1d/ IPV4 ADDRESS DISTRIbUTION
You can easily add computers configured as DHCP clients to the network. The
DHCP server provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses to these hosts
and for delivering network configuration parameters to the hosts.
For example, a client (host) sends a broadcast message on the network
requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of
available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific
period of time and simultaneously designates this IP address as taken. At this
point, the host is configured with an IP address for the duration of the lease.
The host can renew an expiring lease or let it expire. If it renews a lease, the
host receives current information about network services, as it did during the
original lease, allowing it to update its network configurations to reflect any
changes that occurred since the first connection to the network.
If the host wishes to terminate a lease before its expiration, it sends a release
message to the DHCP server. This makes the IP address available for use by
other hosts.
The DHCP server performs the following functions:
• Displays a list of all DHCP host devices connected to your Gateway
• Defines the range of IP addresses that can be allocated in the network
• Defines the length of time the dynamic IP addresses are allocated
