DHCPv4 Operation
Introducing DHCPv4
 DHCPv4:
 assigns IPv4 addresses and other network configuration information dynamically
 useful and timesaving tool for network administrators
 dynamically assigns, or leases, an IPv4 address from a pool of addresses
 A Cisco router can be configured to provide DHCPv4 services.
 Administrators configure DHCPv4 servers so that leases expire. Then
the client must ask for another address, although the client is typically
reassigned the same address.

Configure DHCPv4 Server
Configure a Basic DHCPv4 Server
A Cisco router running the Cisco IOS software can be configured to act
as a DHCPv4 server. To set up DHCP:
1. Exclude addresses from the pool.
2. Set up the DHCP pool name.
3. Define the range of addresses and subnet mask. Use the
default-router command for the default gateway. Optional
parameters that can be included in the pool – dns server,
domain-name.
To disable DHCP, use the no service dhcp command.

Verifying DHCPv4
 Commands to verify DHCP:
show running-config | section dhcp
show ip dhcp binding
show ip dhcp server statistics
 On the PC, issue the ipconfig /all command.

DHCPv4 Relay

DHCPv4 Relay (cont.)
 Using an IP helper address enables a router to forward DHCPv4
broadcasts to the DHCPv4 server. Acting as a relay.

Debugging DHCPv4
 The figure shows an extended ACL permitting only packets with UDP destination ports of
67 or 68. These are the typical ports used by DHCPv4 clients and servers when sending
DHCPv4 messages. The extended ACL is used with the debug ip packet command to
display only DHCPv4 messages.

8.2 DHCPv6

SLAAC and DHCPv6
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
(SLAAC)
 SLAAC uses ICMPv6 Router Solicitation and Router Advertisement
messages to provide addressing and other configuration information that
would normally be provided by a DHCP server:

SLAAC and DHCPv6
SLAAC Operation
 A router must have IPv6 routing enabled before it can send RA
messages: Router(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

SLAAC and DHCPv6
SLAAC Option
 SLAAC is the default option on Cisco routers. Both the M flag and
the O flag are set to 0 in the RA, as shown in the figure.

SLAAC and DHCPv6
Stateless DHCPv6 Option
 To modify the RA message sent on the interface of a router to indicate
stateless DHCPv6, use the following command: Router(config-
if)# ipv6 nd other-config-flag

SLAAC and DHCPv6
Stateful DHCPv6 Option
 This option is the most similar to DHCPv4. In this case, the RA message informs the client
not to use the information in the RA message. All addressing information and configuration
information must be obtained from a stateful DHCPv6 server. Router(config-if)# ipv6 nd
managed-config-flag

SLAAC and DHCPv6
DHCPv6 Operations
If stateless or stateful
DHCPv6 is indicated in
the RA message, then
the device begins
DHCPv6 client/server
communications.
