Where does the DHCP server receive the discover packet?

The DISCOVER packet is routed across the router to the relevant DHCP server. The server receives the DISCOVER packet. Next, the server determines an appropriate address to give to the client based on the server’s availability and use regulations.

Can you use DHCP scope on router?

Microsoft have long stated that they do not recommend or support the use of DHCP scope options as the method of redirection and prefer you update your router's IP helper table with the necessary information. Using the DHCP options limits your options as you can only specific one server and one Network Boot Program (NBP) file.

What is a DHCP boot sequence?

A typical client DHCP boot sequence consist of a Level 2 MAC broadcast DHCPDISCOVER packet trying to get DHCP server's attention. The DHCP server/s receiving the discover packet will answer also a Level 2 MAC broadcast DHCPOFFER packet containing the offered IP and additional parameters. The client after pondering the different offers sends to the chosen DHCP server a Level 3 unicast (over UDP) DHCPREQUEST packet. This request packet tells the DHCP server the client has accepted the corresponding offered IP address and the rest of associated parameters. The DHCP server now sends back a Level 3 unicast (over UDP) DHCPACK packet. The rest of non-accepted offers (if any) are withdrawn and the not taken resources (IP addresses) are kept available at their respective servers for further DHCP requests.

When was DHCP first used?

In October 1993 the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) was first defined in RFC-1531 as a natural extension to BOOTP.

How does a PXE proxy work?

The PXE proxyDHCP server behaves much like a regular DHCP server by listening/answering to ordinary DHCPDISCOVER client traffic. However, unlike a regular DHCP server, the PXE proxyDHCP server does not provide/administer network IP addresses, and it only responds to clients that identify themselves as PXE clients.

Why are DHCP packets shown as unicast packets?

NOTE: In order to avoid a cluttered animation DHCP offers are shown as unicast packets when in fact they are Level 2 multicast packets.

Is DHCP a client or server?

The DHCP (also valid for BOOTP) is implemented as a classic stateless client-server protocol, where the basic transaction consists of a client request followed by a server answer. The protocol stateless feature adds simplicity to the protocol implementation by making every DHCP transaction independent from the previous ones. The different DHCP protocol dialogs are all based on a single DHCP packet format where an specific packet field mainly identifies them as DISCOVER, OFFER, REQUEST or ACKNOWLEGE packets.
