To specify the TCP port number on the DHCP server, complete the tasks in the
following table:
Determining Whether an IP Address Is Available on the Network
Before the DHCP server assigns an IP address to a DHCP client, it must ensure
that the IP address is not already in use on the network.
To verify that the IP address is available, the DHCP server sends out an ICMP
Echo request, called a ping. If the server fails to receive a response to the request
within the specified timeout period (ping request timeout), the DHCP server offers
the IP address and grants a lease to the client. If the DHCP server receives a
response to the request, the IP address is unavailable and therefore cannot be
offered to the client.
By default, the DHCP server pings the IP address of a prospective DHCP client
only once before declaring it available.
