Question

What happens in Dora process when a machine first joins a network that has a DHCP server

Answer 1

When a machine first joins a network that has a DHCP server, it will send out a DHCP Discover broadcast message to the network. The DHCP server will receive this message and respond with a DHCP Offer containing an available IP address and other network configuration information. The machine will then send a DHCP Request message to confirm the IP address offered by the DHCP server. Finally, the DHCP server will send a DHCP Acknowledgement message to the machine, confirming that it can use the provided IP address to connect to the network. The machine will then configure its network settings accordingly and be able to communicate with other devices on the network.
