Study Notes
Module 11: Dynamic Addressing with DHCP
- Focuses on configuring a DHCP server and comparing static and dynamic IPv4 addressing.
Static IPv4 Address Assignment
- IPv4 addresses can be assigned statically or dynamically.
- Statically assigning an IP to a device requires manual entry of configurations.
- Manual IP configuration includes the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
- The IP address identifies the host on the network.
- The subnet mask identifies the network address.
- The default gateway identifies the gateway of last resort.
- Static addresses are useful for printers, servers, and networking devices needing constant accessibility.
- Hosts accessing a server at a specific IPv4 address benefit from a static address.
- Static assignment provides increased network resource control but can be time-consuming.
- Hosts perform basic error checks on statically entered IPv4 addresses, such that errors are more likely.
- It's important to maintain a device list when using static IPv4 addressing.
- Statically assigned addresses are permanent and not normally reused.
Dynamic IPv4 Address Assignment
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) dynamically assigns IPv4 address configurations to end devices.
- DHCP automatically assigns IP configurations to hosts on large networks.
- DHCP reduces the burden on network support staff and minimizes entry errors.
- IP configurations are "leased" for a limited amount of time.
- When a host disconnects from the network, its IP address returns to the DHCP pool for reuse.
DHCP Servers
- DHCP servers assign IPv4 addresses to end devices.
- DHCP server services can be provided by a PC-based server or networking devices.
- Networking devices include routers, wireless routers, switches, and access points.
- ISPs use server-based DHCP servers.
- Medium to large networks use a dedicated local PC-based server.
- Home and small businesses use wireless routers running DHCP services.
DHCPv4 Operation
- DHCP operations include static and dynamic DHCP assignments
- Understanding of DHCP message exchanges.
- Insight into the DHCP Discover, Offer, and Request messages.
- The DHCP Acknowledgment message is also considered.
DHCP Service Configuration
- How to configure DHCP Server services on a wireless router in Packet Tracer is demonstrated.
Packet Tracer - Configure DHCP on a Wireless Router
- Connect 3 PCs to a wireless router
- Change the DHCP setting to a specific network range
- Configure clients to obtain their addresses via DHCP
Dynamic Addressing with DHCP Summary
- IPv4 addresses can be assigned statically or dynamically.
- Static IP configuration necessitates manual entry of IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
- Static addresses are used for networking devices like printers and servers.
- DHCP dynamically assigns IPv4 address configurations.
- DHCP automatically assigns IP configurations for a limited time.
- When a device disconnects, the DHCP server returns the IPv4 address to the DHCP pool.
- DHCP server services are provided by PC-based servers and networking devices.
- DHCP messages exchanged include Discover, Offer, Request, and Acknowledgment messages.
