The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a way to automate and manage the network configuration of desktop computers and other network devices that use the TCP/IP protocol. The DHCP Handbook is a complete resource for understanding DHCP, designing and deploying DHCP services and debugging problems with DHCP clients and servers. Designed for network architects, implementors and administrators, this authoritative guide includes:
  • An introduction to DHCP through examples
  • A complete description of DHCP, including examples of how it works and discussion of the intent behind the protocol specification
  • Advice on how to design, install and configure a DHCP service to meet the goals of your network installation
  • Operational details about DHCP servers and clients and help in tuning and debugging DHCP services
  • Information that will help you understand the evolution of DHCP and plan for the future
  Regardless of the DHCP service you use, this book is an absolute must for network administrators deploying and managing DHCP services. I'm sure that it'll find a place on the bookshelf, alongside the W. Richard Stevens "TCP/IP Illustrated" set. - Michael Carney, Sun Microsystems

It's going to be the bible on DHCP - John Kemp, University of Oregon Computing Center
