Abstract

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a UDP network. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address. DHCP eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options. DHCP captures the behavior of BOOTP relay agents, and DHCP participants can interoperate with BOOTP participants. Proposed system, i.e., Customized DHCP aims to give the security for DHCP, which was not present in the older one and it uses UDP instead of TCP thus reducing the number of fields as compared to the old DHCP, in turn which decreases the execution time and still providing the basic functionality of the usual DHCP.
