DHCP is a protocol that enables servers to dynamically assign IP addresses and configuration information to clients, simplifying network management. The document also discusses various logging methods on Cisco routers, including console, buffered, terminal, and syslog server logging. Additionally, it covers Network Time Protocol (NTP), which synchronizes clocks across network devices using authoritative time sources.

WHAT IS DHCP?

• Allows a server to dynamically distribute IP addressing and configuration


information to clients.

 IP Address
 Subnet Mask
 Default Gateway
 DNS server
Advantages :
 Centralized network client configuration
 Easier IP address management
 Reduced network administration
 Large network support
DHCP PROCESS
Logging on Cisco Routers
• Keeping track of events
 Console logging
 Buffered logging
 Terminal logging
 Syslog Server logging
CONSOLE LOGGING
 By default the router sends all log messages to its console port.
 Hence only the users that are physically connected to the router
console port can view these message.
BUFFERED LOGGING
 This type of logging uses router’s RAM for storing log messages.

 Buffer has a fixed size to ensure that the log will not deplete
valuable system memory.

 The router accomplishes this by deleting old messages from the


buffer as new messages are added.
TERMINAL LOGGING
 It is similar to console logging, but it displays log messages to the
router’s VTY lines instead.
 This is not enabled by default
SYSLOG SERVER LOGGING
 The router can use syslog to forward log messages to external
syslog servers for storage.

 This type of logging is not enabled by default.


Network Time Protocol (NTP)
 Allow network devices to synchronize their clocks with a central
source clock.

 Make sure that logging information and timestamps have the


accurate time and date.

 Keep clocks on hosts and network devices synchronized.


Network Time Protocol (NTP)
 Gets its time from an authoritative time source, such as radio
clock or an atomic clock attached to a time server.

 NTP then distributes this time across the network.

 NTP runs over the UDP, using port 123 as both the Source &
Destination, which in turn runs over IP.
NTP Stratum
NTP uses a stratum to describe the distance between a network device and an
authoritative time source:

 Stratum 1 time server is directly attached to an authoritative time source (such as a


radio or atomic clock or a GPS time source).

 A stratum 2 NTP server receives its time through NTP from a stratum 1 time server.
