Book Description
DHCP is an authoritative overview and expert guide to the set up and management of a DHCP server. The book begins with a thorough technical introduction to DHCP--how it was developed, how it interacts with other protocols such as TCP/IP, etc. Part II discusses how DHCP operates; including initial configurations, handling rebooting and lease extension, and DHCP relay agents. In Part III, the authors share their expertise on the efficient use of DHCP in different environments. Part IV covers the technical intricacies of the interaction between DHCP servers and clients, and how to optimally manage each relationship. The final section covers network hardware, inter-server communication, security, SNMP, and IP mobility. The book concludes with several appendices that provide a rich resource for networking professionals working with DHCP.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This book provides an overview of the DHCP protocol itself, which is why I bought it. Byte-by-byte, the book explains the protocol and the client/server mechanism in play. But it also goes on to provide information about hte administration of networks using several different DHCP implementations. The more advanced information includes fitting a DHCP server into a complete network sever architecture--having your server interact with a DNS server, for instance. Unfortuantely, the book does _not_ cover the meaning of--and often, not even deep descriptions of--the underlying settings. It doesn't make efforts at suggesting useful settings, or explain the tradeoffs that each setting might make. That seems fair: if it did, the book's scope would be pulled in the direction of providing a TCP/IP tutorial, too. For that information, you'll need to buy separate protocol-specific references.
