Configuring DHCP This chapter describes how to configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). For a complete description of the DHCP commands listed in this chapter, refer to the “DHCP Commands” chapter of the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Command Reference publication. To locate documentation of other commands that appear in this chapter, use the command reference master index or search online. As explained in RFC 2131, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol , DHCP provides configuration parameters to Internet hosts. DHCP consists of two components: a protocol for delivering host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host and a mechanism for allocating network addresses to hosts. DHCP is built on a client/server model, where designated DHCP server hosts allocate network addresses and deliver configuration parameters to dynamically configured hosts. DHCP supports three mechanisms for IP address allocation: • Automatic allocation—DHCP assigns a permanent IP address to a client. • Dynamic allocation—DHCP assigns an IP address to a client for a limited period of time (or until the client explicitly relinquishes the address). • Manual allocation—The network administrator assigns an IP address to a client and DHCP is used simply to convey the assigned address to the client. The format of DHCP messages is based on the format of Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) messages, which ensures support for BOOTP relay agent functionality and interoperability between BOOTP clients and
