About DHCP
•DHCP is short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol •the Internet standard protocol to assign IP-
addresses and network related configuration to TCP/IP connected machines
• for IPv4: RFC 2131
• for IPv6: RFC 8415

DHCPv4 protocol
•the DHCPv4 protocol uses UDP broadcast und (in some situations) unicast
•the DHCPv4 server or relay agents listen on port 67
•a DHCPv4 client listens on port 68 for messages from a server or relay agent
•the initial request from a client requires layer 2 (Ethernet) communication

DHCPv4 Lease (1/3)
•when using the DHCP protocol, a client can never keep an IP Address forever
•each IP Address given out by a DHCP server has a "lease" time
•this is the time in seconds that the client is allowed to use the IP Address
11
![Page 12: Kea Webinar DHCP introduction - isc.org · DHCP messages and client server communication •DHCPDISCOVER (client asks: is there a DHCP server that can give me an address) •DHCPOFFER](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051810/60184528795cb92d0f252999/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

DHCPv4 Lease (3/3)
•according to the RFC, a DHCP server must store the lease information to permanent storage before giving the IP address to a client
•this can be a performance bottleneck on a DHCP server
•we will discuss the various options in one of the following webinars

DHCP Clients, Relays and Server•because a client machine without IP address
can only communicate on the local link, the base DHCPv4 protocol is "link-local" only
•DHCPv4 relay-agents can be used to forward DHCPv4 requests to centralised DHCPv4 server
•DHCP relay-agents are often found in network equipment (e.g. router)
•dedicated "software based" relay-agents are available

DHCP messages and client server communication
•DHCPDISCOVER (client asks: is there a DHCP server that can give me an address)
•DHCPOFFER (DHCP server offers an address to the client)
•DHCPREQUEST (client requests the IP address offered by the server)
•DHCPACK (server marks the IP address as leased and confirms that transaction)

BOOTP fields and DHCPv4 Options
• in addition to an IP address, DHCPv4 can be used to network configuration to a client
•BOOTP configuration fields like next-server or boot-file-name
•DHCPv4 options like domain-name-servers or domain-search
•we will cover the BOOTP fields and DHCPv4 options in our next webinar

Host reservation (1/3)•sometimes a DHCP IP address should always be given to
the same DHCP client machine
• for example if that machine receives incoming connections (web-server, printer, database)
•or if firewall rules define a security policy based on the IP address
•A host reservation binds a DHCP client via a client identifier (Ethernet MAC address) to a IP address

Shared Subnet
•A shared subnet is a physical network with more than one DHCPv4 managed subnet inside
•shared subnet are sometimes created if a larger number of IP addresses are needed in a network, but because of IPv4 address shortage no continuous range of IPv4 addresses are available

Shared Subnet•another use case of shared subnets is a network where
addresses from different IPv4 subnets (and possibly different network configuration) should be given to different network devices
•cable modems and end user devices
•printer, desktop and mobile devices
•POS terminals and retail infrastructure devices (digital price tags)

DHCPv6
• from a birds-eye view, DHCPv6 works the same way as DHCPv4
• in the details, it is all different
•DHCPv6 is not an upgrade to DHCPv4, it is a protocol of its own

DHCPv6 IP based vs. DHCPv4 Layer2/Ethernet based (use of link-local addresses)
•DHCPv6 is solely a Layer 3 protocol
•a DHCPv6 client already has a working link-local IPv6 address (fe80::) when sending the first DHCPv6 request
•no "low-level kernel trickery" required

DHCPv6 protocol (port numbers, communication)

•DHCPv6 clients listen on Port 546 (UDPv6)

the role of router in DHCPv6
•DHCPv6 has been designed to provide it's service in cooperation with the local router(s)
•DHCPv6 must be enabled in the router configuration (M-Flag or O-Flag) •The Default-Gateway Address will be retrieved
from a router and not from the DHCPv6 Server

DHCPv6 address allocation vs. DHCPv4 address allocation
•DHCPv6 server must issue IP Addresses randomly from the available address pool
•some DHCPv4 server products issue IP Addresses continuously
•The DHCPv6 scheme makes it harder to guess an IP Address or scan a network segment

DHCPv6 allocation types: non-temporary, temporary, multiple addresses, prefix-delegation
•a DHCPv6 client can send different kind of IP address requests
•non-temporary: an address that will always be given to this client if available. This is similar to an DHCPv4 address request.
•temporary: an address that will always change on each request and has a low lease time. Used by the client for outgoing connections for privacy reasons
•multiple: a client can request multiple IP addresses from the DHCPv6 server
•prefix delegation: a client that is a router and also a DHCPv6 server itself can request one or more IPv6 prefix networks from an upstream DHCPv6 server
•this allows for an hierarchical DHCPv6 configuration

•SLAAC can be used as an alternative to DHCPv6
•SLAAC and DHCPv6 can be combined

DHCPv6 - stateless vs. stateful
•There are two different ways to get an IPv6 address for a IPv6 enabled device
•Stateless configuration
•Stateful configuration

DHCPv6 - stateless vs. stateful
•Stateless configuration
•The IPv6 address will be determined without a DHCP Server (IPv6 auto-configuration = SLAAC)
•Stateful configuration
•The IPv6 address will be received from a DHCPv6 Server
• In both cases additional configuration parameters (DNS Server etc) can be retrieved by DHCPv6

Identity Association (IA)
•An Identity Association (IA) is a construct through which a server and a client can identify, group, and manage a set of related IPv6 addresses (or delegated prefixes)
•Each IA consists of an IAID (Identity Association ID) and associated configuration information
• if a client has more than one network interface, every interface will be associated with one distinct IAID

Identity Association (IA)•DHCPv6 clients can receive temporary and non- temporary addresses
•temporary addresses are used for communication with outside, untrusted networks (like the Internet)
•temporary addresses cannot be used to track a client, they are created randomly and change often
•non-temporary addresses are stable and can be used to track a client machine (non-temporary addresses are used in trusted, internal networks)
• temporary and non-temporary (stable) IPv6 addresses are managed with the help of IAIDs

DHCPv6 rapid commit•rapid commit speeds up the process of joining a network
•with "rapid commit" there is no information for the DHCPv6 server if the client is using the advertised IPv6 address
•the DHCPv6 server must reserve the IPv6 address for the full lease time
•this (temporary) squandering of IPv6 addresses is usually not a problem because of the large size of IPv6 subnets (/64 prefixes)
