This message may contain the client's Client ID (Option 61, containing a unique value, traditionally a MAC address), the IP address that the server is offering, the subnet mask, the lease duration, and the IP address of the DHCP server making the offer. The DHCP server may also take notice of the hardware-level MAC address (as specified in the ...
ipconfig in Mac OS X serves as a wrapper to the IPConfiguration agent, and can be used to control the Bootstrap Protocol and DHCP client from the command-line interface. [8] For example, you can release and renew an IP address if it happened to be assigned incorrectly by the DHCP server during the automated assignment process. [9]
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) is a network protocol for configuring Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes, default route, local segment MTU, and other configuration data required to operate in an IPv6 network.
For instance, if a printer is moved from one floor to another it might be assigned a new IP address by the local DHCP server. [4] To address the need for automatic configuration, Microsoft implemented NetBIOS Name Service, part of which is the Computer Browser Service already in Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 [5] as early as 1992
In responding to queries, responders listen on UDP port 5355 on the following link-scope Multicast address: IPv4 - 224.0.0.252, MAC address 01-00-5E-00-00-FC; IPv6 - FF02:0:0:0:0:0:1:3 (this notation can be abbreviated as FF02::1:3), MAC address 33-33-00-01-00-03; The responders also listen on TCP port 5355 on the unicast address that the host ...
MAC addresses need to be individually configured on the servers by an administrator. RARP is limited to serving only IP addresses . Reverse ARP differs from the Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (InARP), which is designed to obtain the IP address associated with a local Frame Relay data link connection identifier. [ 2 ]
MADCAP was originally based on DHCP. [9] Microsoft included MADCAP as part of the DHCP service in Windows 2000. [10] RFC 2730 was published as a proposed networking standard by the IETF in December 1999. [1] Guidelines for the allocation of IPv6 multicast addresses using MADCAP were published in RFC 3307 in August 2002. [11]
On Windows XP, the server, by default, gets the IP address 192.168.0.1. (This default can be changed within the interface settings of the network adapter or in the Windows Registry .) It provides NAT services to the entire 192.168.0.x subnet, even if the address on the client was set manually, not by the DHCP server.
