What is DHCP?
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
It is used to provide automatically IP address
in network server to client. that is called DHCP. It is a network
management protocol used on UDP/IP networks whereby a DHCP server
dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to
each device on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks.
DHCP runs at the application layer of the
Transmission Control Protocol/IP (TCP/IP) protocol stack to dynamically assign IP Addresses to DHCP clients and to allocate TCP/IP configuration information to
DHCP clients. This includes subnet mask information, default gateway. IP
addresses and domain name system (DNS) addresses.
When it's provide IP address in network. This
process known as DORA (DISCOVERY OFFER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE) process.

Relay Agent:-
Suppose I have two subnets that is subnet A and subnet B and
both subnets are connected to a Router. I have a DHCP Server in Subnet A. I
configure two scopes in DHCP Server i.e. Scope A for Subnet A and Scope B
for subnet B. I want to configure that all the computers in Subnet B receive
the IP Addresses from DHCP Server That Is Located in Subnet A. But my Router is
not RFC 1542 (Request for Comment) compatible in that case I will install a
DHCP relay Agent in Subnet B.
Scope
Option:-Scope Option provides the additional TCP/IP configuration of
any DHCP client in the network such as the IP Address of DNS Server, WINS
Server, Router etc. There are four types of scope option:
1. Server
