DHCP Overview - N10-008 CompTIA Network+ : 1.6

Thank you sir!

Thank you!!

If the acknowledgment is broadcasted because the initial client does not yet have an IP address assigned, what happens if more than one computer is waiting on an acknowledgment and they both receive the acknowledgment? How do the 2 clients know to not both accept the same IP address?

why is the request being sent as a broadcast to the DHCP server? The work station should already know the DHCP's IP address and its MAC address because it already received offer reply from the DHCP sever and should already have the MAC address and IP address in the ARP cache

I am studying for my Network+ but I already have my CCNA so I have already learned this stuff, but I can tell you that your method for explaining these concepts is the best I have heard. Keep up the great work.

Excellent explanation! Thanks a lot professor Messer!

DHCP is just as important as the rest! Keep GOING!
