Describe the normal DHCP process, including the types of messages exchanged.

What will be an ideal response?


Every time a DHCP client boots up, it sends out a DHCP discovery packet using a broadcast address. Upon receiving this message, the DHCP server on the network would respond with a DHCP offer. The client, on receiving the offer, responds with a DHCP request accepting the offer. The server responds with a DHCP acknowledge, and lists the client MAC address and assigned IP address in a database. The client accepts the IP data and responds with a DHCP lease, which is the amount of time the DHCP server is allowing the client to use the IP information before it must renew, repeating the process.
