IP Address Distribution
The Router’s DHCP server makes it possible to easily add computers configured as
DHCP clients to the network. It provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses to
these hosts and for delivering network configuration parameters to them.
For example, a client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the network request-
ing an
IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of available address-
es and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period of time and simul-
taneously designates this IP address as “taken.” At this point, the host is configured
with an IP address for the duration of the lease.
