IMPLEMENTING DHCP

CHAPTER REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. Under what circumstances should network administrators use DHCP?

ANSWER

Network administrators should use DHCP in situations in which manually configuring each host on a network becomes inefficient. As the number of hosts on a network grows, and as the number of configuration options for each host also grows, so does the need for and benefit of using DHCP.

2. Place the following DHCP message types in the order in which a successful initial IP address assignment procedure uses them. a. DHCPACK b. DHCPOFFER c. DHCPREQUEST d. DHCPDISCOVER

ANSWER

d, b, c, a. The client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message to find the DHCP server, the server responds with a DHCPOFFER message, the client accepts the offer with a DHCPREQUEST message, and the server confirms by sending a DHCPACK message.

With the least administrative effort, how can you allow for compatibility between the DNS server’s address and DHCP service on the subnet?
