BOOTP and DHCP
BOOTP:
BOOTP - Bootstrap protocol
BOOTP - Bootstrap protocol
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
⇒Both of these protocols are used for assigning IP Address to clients who wants to connect to Network.
⇒Four
pieces of information needed by computers in
order to communicate.
↳ Ip Adress of Computer.
↳ Subnet Mask of Computer.
↳ Ip address of Router.
↳ Ip address of Name Server.
⇒All four info is not available for manufacturer. ROM cannot store these information
⇒BOOTP is client/server protocol (Application layer program) designed to provide the four pieces of information for a computer that is booted for first time.
⇒The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is a client/server protocol that configures a diskless computer or a computer that is booted for the first time. BOOTP provides the IP address, net mask, the address of a default router, and the address of a name server
⇒BOOTP is a static configuration protocol.
When client requests for IP address, BOOTP server consults a table that matches existing physical address of client with its IP address.
↳ Ip Adress of Computer.
↳ Subnet Mask of Computer.
↳ Ip address of Router.
↳ Ip address of Name Server.

Disadvantage :
⇒If client moves to another physical network.
⇒If the host needs a temporary IP address.
DHCP:
⇒Supports both static and dynamic allocation.
⇒Static
allocation is manual(by admin), Dynamic
is automatic Configuration.
⇶ It contains 2 databases.
1-One database statically binds physical address to IP address.
2-Other contains a pool of IP address.
⇒On receiving request from DHCP
client, it first checks in Static database and if not present, assigns IP
address from the pool with lease period.
⇒For temporary IP addresses server
consults the secondary database and assigns a temporary address with a lease
period(can be renewed or stopped).
