This chapter covers the following topics:
Understanding DHCP—Describes the process of allocating IP addresses with DHCP.
DHCP Roles—Defines the server, relay, and client used by DHCP.
Troubleshooting DHCP—Lays out a seven-step process for troubleshooting DHCP.
This chapter is about using IPv4 DHCP (the Dynamic Host Control Protocol) with Cisco IOS. Cisco IOS devices may act as DHCP servers, relays, or clients, and this chapter deals with each case. This chapter also provides the configuration syntax with working examples.

Caution
The goal of self-assessment is to gauge your mastery of the topics in this chapter. If you do not know the answer to a question or are only partially sure of the answer, you should mark this question wrong for purposes of the self-assessment. Giving yourself credit for an answer you correctly guess skews your self-assessment results and might provide you with a false sense of security.
