Configuring SNMP, BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP Services
3-4
Figure 3-3 shows the second and third stages of the process.
Figure 3-3. Requesting and Receiving IP Information
5. When the client has chosen a target server, it broadcasts a DHCPREQUEST
packet. The DHCPREQUEST packet contains the address of the target server
in the server IP address field.
6. The router receives the packet and forwards it to all servers.
7. Those servers examine the packet, and if their IP addresses differ from the
value in the server IP address field, they reclaim the IP addresses they
supplied in the DHCPOFFER packets. These addresses are now available for
other clients.
8. The target server recognizes its IP address in the server IP address field, and
responds to the DHCPREQUEST packet as follows:
• If the target server can supply the requested configuration parameters, it
sends a DHCPACK packet to the client through the BOOTP relay agent.
The client examines the configuration parameters in the DHCPACK
packet and records the duration of the lease period. If the client detects a
problem with the configuration parameters, it sends a DHCPDECLINE
packet to the server and issues a new DHCPDISCOVER packet.
Otherwise, the client accepts the configuration parameters.
3. Target server transmits
DHCPACK or DHCPNAK
packet to BOOTP relay
agent.
1. Client broadcasts
a DHCPREQUEST
packet.
4. BOOTP relay agent
transmits DHCPACK
or DHCPNAK
packet to client.
2. BOOTP relay agent
transmits DHCPREQUEST
packet to all servers
that supplied a
DHCPOFFER packet.
