NSA DHCP Server

This document provides an overview of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). It discusses how DHCP works through a four step process (DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER, DHCPREQUEST, DHCPACKNOWLEDGEMENT) to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on a network. It also describes DHCP scopes that assign ranges of IP addresses to different subnets and the lease renewal process where clients renew their leases before they expire.

DHCP
• In IP environment, before a computer can
communicate to another one, they need to have their
own IP addresses.
• There are two ways of configuring an IP address on a
device:
• Static: Statically assign an IP address. This means we
manually type an IP address for this computer
• Dynamic Use a protocol so that the computer can obtain
its IP address automatically.

How does DHCP work? (Step 1)
• DHCPDISCOVER message
• Destination IP address
255.255.255.255 (broadcast)
• Destination MAC address
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF (broadcast)
• Source IP address 0.0.0.0
• Source MAC Address
• Try to find out a DHCP Server
How does DHCP work? (Step 2)
• DHCPOFFER message
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• Lease Time
• DNS
• Destination IP address
255.255.255.255 (broadcast)
• Destination MAC address of
Client (unicast)
How does DHCP work? (Step 3)
• DHCPREQUEST message
• Destination IP address
255.255.255.255 (broadcast)
• Destination MAC address of
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF (broadcast)

Summary
DHCP Lease Renewal Process
• By default, lease period is limited to 8 days.
• Clients attempt to renew its lease as 50% of the lease
duration has expired.

Missing DHCP Server
• If the client cannot find a DHCP server then It
may auto assign an IP address from a reserved
range 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 or simply
have an IP address of 0.0.0.0.
DHCP Commands
• ipconfig/all -This command will show IP and DNS settings
• ipconfig/release -This command will release the IP address from
DHCP
• ipconfig/renew -This command will renew the IP address using DHCP
