What happens when you turn on the wifi on your phone.....
Bit Of Theory😐
DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) : ~
- assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks
My Phone When , I have No Ip
Now I Turn On my wifi (Things Work Happy Me😊
The DORA Process:
Behind the Scenes
Discover:
- DHCP Client ( your phone in this case) sends out a DHCP Discover message to find out the DHCP (your Router ) server
What DHCP Discover message looks like?
Offer
- DHCP server ( your router ) receives the DHCP discover message from client and sends back the DHCP offer message
How does DHCP Offer message look like?
Request
- DHCP client receives the DHCP offer from DHCP server and sends back a DHCP Request message.
How does DHCP Request message look like?
Acknowledge
Once the DHCP client ( your phone ) sends the request to get the Offered IP address, DHCP server responds with an acknowledge message towards DHCP client
And Then we have Identity, I mean my phone😜
Thank you guys...
