In this chapter we discuss our first client/server application program, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This application is discussed first because it is the first client/server application program that is used after a host is booted. In other words, it serves as a bootstrap when a host is booted and supposed to be connected to the Internet, but the host does not know its IP address. | Chapter 17 BOOTP and DHCP CONTENTS BOOTP DHCP BOOTP Figure 17-1 BOOTP packet format Figure 17-2 Option format Figure 17-3 BOOTP operation DHCP Figure 17-4 DHCP packet Figure 17-5 DHCP transition diagram Figure 17-6: Part I Exchanging messages Figure 17-6: Part II Exchanging messages | Chapter 17 BOOTP and DHCP CONTENTS BOOTP DHCP BOOTP Figure 17-1 BOOTP packet format Figure 17-2 Option format Figure 17-3 BOOTP operation DHCP Figure 17-4 DHCP packet Figure 17-5 DHCP transition diagram Figure 17-6: Part I Exchanging messages Figure 17-6: Part II Exchanging messages | Chapter 17 BOOTP and DHCP CONTENTS BOOTP DHCP BOOTP Figure 17-1 BOOTP packet format Figure 17-2 Option format Figure 17-3 BOOTP operation DHCP Figure 17-4 DHCP packet Figure 17-5 DHCP transition diagram Figure 17-6: Part I Exchanging messages Figure 17-6: Part II Exchanging . | Chapter 17 BOOTP and DHCP CONTENTS BOOTP DHCP BOOTP Figure 17-1 BOOTP packet format Figure 17-2 Option format Figure 17-3 BOOTP operation DHCP Figure 17-4 DHCP packet Figure 17-5 DHCP transition diagram Figure 17-6: Part I Exchanging messages Figure 17-6: Part II Exchanging messages | Chapter 17 BOOTP and DHCP CONTENTS BOOTP DHCP BOOTP Figure 17-1 BOOTP packet format Figure 17-2 Option format Figure 17-3 BOOTP operation DHCP Figure 17-4 DHCP packet Figure 17-5 DHCP transition diagram Figure 17-6: Part I Exchanging messages Figure 17-6: Part II Exchanging .
