Definition and Concepts.
DHCPV4 Operation
DHCPv4 works in a client/server mode.
When a client communicates with a DHCPv4
server, the server assigns or leases an IPv4
address to that client.

Step 1. DHCP
Discover
The client starts the process using a
broadcast DHCPDISCOVER message with
its own MAC address to discover available
DHCPv4 servers.
Step 3. DHCP
Request.
When the client receives the DHCPOFFER
from the server, it sends back a
DHCPREQUEST message. This message is
used for both lease origination and lease
renewal.
Step 4. DHCP
Acknowledgment.
On receiving the DHCPREQUEST message,
the server may verify the lease information
with an ICMP ping to that address to ensure
it is not being used already, it will create a
new ARP entry for the client lease, and
reply with a DHCPACK message.
