If your solution is similar to the one presented, you may choose to continue on with it; but it is suggested that you untar the new project files in a fresh working directory:<br /> tar xvzf &lt;tar-ball location&gt;<br /> <br /> = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol =<br /> The [[wikipedia:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol | Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol]] provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCPIP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). In this assignment students will build a DHCP client into Embedded Xinu that dynamically acquires networking information for the operating system to use.<br /> <br /> Upon completion of the assignment the students' implementation should:<br /> ===== Required Assignment Parts =====<br /> * implement a functional DHCP client within Embedded Xinu<br /> <br /> == Student Outcomes ==<br /> Upon completion of this assignment students should understand the key role this protocol plays in the overall networking architecture.<br /> <br /> == Potential References ==<br /> * [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - RFC 2131]<br /> * [[wikipedia:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol | Dynamic Host Configuration - Wiki Page]]</div>
