  1. DISCOVER

    • The new client broadcasts a message to find the DHCP server because, at first, the client doesn’t know the DHCP server's location.

  2. OFFER

    • The DHCP server responds with an available private IP address, offering it to the client.

  3. REQUEST

    • The client requests the offered IP address from the DHCP server by sending a request message.

  4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    • The DHCP server confirms and officially assigns the IP address to the client.

    • The client receives the IP address and the necessary network configuration (e.g., subnet mask, gateway, DNS).

    • The IP address is valid for a specific lease time, after which the client needs to renew the lease to keep using the IP.
