12.1.4 IP-MAC DHCP Snooping
Networks are growing larger and more complicated. Wireless Devices and Laptops are
more widely used and with the location of PCs changing, we need better Management
options. Managing all of these IP Address needs manually does not make sense. This has
given rise to DHCP ( (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) this Network configuration
protocol further optimized and developed the older BOOTP protocol and solves the
need to manually assign IP Addresses.
DHCP Working Principle
DHCP works using the “Client/Server” communication model. The Client applies to the
Server for configuration information. The Server assigns the configuration information
such as the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Servers, etc… to the Client. A Server
can assign the IP Address for hundreds or even thousands of Clients. This configuration
is illustrated in the following figure.
