Explain how a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client obtains an IP address from a DHCP server.

Explanation should include

  • requesting an IP address
  • configuring the length of the IP address’ lease
  • setting common parameters with a lease (default gateway, DNS servers, etc.)
  • identifying the function of an automatic private IP address (APIPA)
  • identifying the function of a static IP address
  • identifying the alternate configuration of an IP address.
