What is the Linux command to consult a DHCP server?
dhcp-client
What does acquiring network address means?
The device is looking for a DHCP server to obtain a DHCP address.
What does a dhcprequest do?
A DHCP request is a message sent by a client to a DHCP server to request an IP address and other network configuration parameters. This typically occurs after the client receives a DHCP offer from the server, and the request indicates the client's acceptance of the offered IP address. The DHCP server then responds with an acknowledgment, finalizing the lease of the IP address to the client for a specified duration. This process is part of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) used to automate the assignment of IP addresses in a network.
A request by a DHCP client for permission to use the network configuration previously offered by the DHCP server refers to?
A client will request an IP address it had previously in a DHCP Discover or Request message with option 50 marked, and an IP address inserted into the data field of option 50.
When configuring a Linux DHCP server what is the option used to ensure a certain machine is always given the same address?
hardware physical address
What service distributes IP addresses automatically?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A network node can request an IP address from a DHCP server using a broadcast frame. The DHCP server may assign an IP address to the node as well as a subnet mask and default gateway.
What is dhcp accept?
DHCP Accept is not a standard term in networking, but it may refer to the process where a DHCP client accepts an IP address and configuration parameters assigned by a DHCP server. During DHCP communication, after the server offers an IP address, the client sends a DHCP Request to accept that offer, and the server responds with a DHCP Ack to confirm the lease. This process enables devices to automatically obtain network settings without manual configuration.
What two message types are exchanged during the DHCP lease renewal process?
During the DHCP lease renewal process, two key message types are exchanged: the DHCP Request and DHCP Acknowledgment (ACK). The client sends a DHCP Request to the server to indicate its desire to renew the lease for its IP address. In response, the server sends a DHCP ACK to confirm the renewal, allowing the client to continue using the same IP address for an extended period.
Which OS can act as a DHCP server?
Windows Server Family, Linux are some examples. And also there are some routers that have the DHCP service enabled.
Can a computer communicate without an IP address?
Yes. There are a number of ways this can (and in fact does) happen. The most obvious happens in a DHCP request, which is a method by which a computer that does not have an IP address gets an IP address from a DHCP server.
Can you configure two dhcp server on a same network?
yes, one can configure two dhcp server on a same network. But for doing this, one has to define different scopes in both dhcp server in order to avoid ip address conflict. Eg. one can configure a scope for a lan with network address of 10.0.0.0 as- 10.0.0.10- 10.0.0.100 in one dhcp server. while other scope would be 10.0.0.101-10.0.0.200 . In this way we can have to dhcp servers on a same network. Which ever dhcp server receives the request for the ip address will provide the ip address. IN case for servers, one can use mac bindingin both servers so that they obtain same ip address
What is the IP address of the DHCP server?
DHCP server must be assigned a static IP address...On a Windows computer you can find out the IP address of the DHCP server that assigned your current IP address by opening a command prompt and typing "ipconfig /all".
