dhcp

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standard protocol that allows a server to dynamically distribute IP addressing and configuration information to clients. In the Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR) environment of IPv4 the following parameters should be defined on every IPv4 host:: 1. ip addres, 2. subnet mask, 3. default gateway

DHCP relay agent is a small program that relays DHCP/BOOTP messages between clients and servers on different subnets. DHCP/BOOTP relay agents are part of the DHCP and BOOTP standards and function according to the Request for Comments (RFCs), standard documents that describe protocol design and related behavior.
