Figure 2-5. Identifying DHCP Servers
To identify DHCP servers, the client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet.
Figure 2-6 shows the fields in a DHCP packet. The packet relay process uses these
fields as follows:
1. A BootP relay agent receives the packet and, if it accepts the packet, transmits
it to DHCP servers on other networks.
3. Servers transmit
DHCPOFFER
packets to BOOTP
relay agent.
1. Client broadcasts
