The protocol is composed of three components: ■ DHCP client ■ DHCP server ■ DHCP relay agent The DHCP client sends broadcast request packets to the network; the DHCP servers respond with broadcast packets that offer IP parameters, such as an IP address for the client. After the client chooses the IP parameters, commu nication between the client and server is by unicast packets. ProCurve routing switches provide the DHCP relay agent to enable commu nication from a DHCP server to DHCP clients on subnets other than the one the server resides on. The DHCP relay agent transfers DHCP messages from DHCP clients located on a subnet without a DHCP server to other subnets. It also relays answers from DHCP servers to DHCP clients. 3-41
