DHCP Explained | Step by Step 

The intro cracked me tf up after stu"dying" for hours. Thanks xD

Died at "Host A doesn't know what the f**k is going on" Awesome work, keep going!

SIMPLE!!! Thank you so much for keeping this short AND simple. You've explained and made sense to a complete networking novice. I finally understand how DHCP works and with no thanks to any of the hour long videos I sat through. THANK YOU for keeping it near 5 minutes.

As soon as he said f*#k I subscribed

Host 'B' got attitute bro! rejecting every single packet ...

Settings > Playback Speed > 1.5x

I'm studying Network+ and came across this video. Thank you for that wonderful explanation. I'm researching each and every topic so that I'm sure to understand it thoroughly and increase my shot at success on the 1st attempt.

Very clear, concise explanation! I was engaged for the entire video. Anyone can understand DHCP with the way this was explained.

I agree with many of the other comments in that I love this video! It's quick, concise, clear, and most of all funny! Keep it up. I am definitely subscribing.

Best explanation of DHCP on youtube. Clear and simple. Thanks

DORA Only had to watch this once to fully understand DHCP. Very detailed video, great work!

Clear, to the point, simple diagrams!! Thanks. You guys are best in uncomplicated things!

WOW, That's great explanation. Thanks a lot.

This is hands down the best explanation in 5 mins. Such a difficult thing to cover everything important in such a short video. I wasted time watching other videos, some 13 15 mins long with a confused mind.

This really simplified how DHCP works.. Thanks!

One of the best video on DHCP. Very well explained like a Pro in a plain english.Keep the good work ..

Really like the way you explain things. Went on to watch the OSI Model vid & then TCP/IP accordingly. All stemmed from having a frustratingly slow internet with dropouts. I realised I needed to know what all these different acronyms mean and what they relate to. Now I know some simple stuff, I want to go deeper. You’d be surprised how many videos I had to click through ...that explain things using other acronyms!! Many thanks mate. Subscribed to your mail list. Hope your website is back up soon

I don't think that there are better explanations about DHCP out there than this one. Thank you so much @CertBros

Content like this should be more popular :)

I have fun learning at this tutorial. laughing while watching at the same time learning..

Awesome video, had to find one to show a coworker, that I'm having trouble explaining it to, and this one was very well explained and humorous. Thank you.

OMG! Isn't this video worth watching? Obviously a big yes. Cant resist my self to give it a thumbs up and comment on this.. Great Job buddy

This really clarifies the concept of DHCP I’ve been trying to grasp on the Google IT course. Thank you.

a great explanation to those people that don't like to study, if they hear the f**k word they will pay more attention and they will learn. :D

Superb explanation. You literally kept the viewer occupied and yes the cold humour was so funny. Got what I was searching for. Keep making more videos. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks so much for the step by step ilustration! As a beginner, this really dumbs it down and makes sense.

I like your humor. Makes the video more approachable.

One of those things I would see on my routers settings and wince and runaway. Thanks for explaining it!

I have a job interview tomorrow requiring me to know about DHCP and this REALLY helped. Brilliant job!

Needed some brushing up for starting a new module for my 3rd year of uni. I love this, sending it to all my course mates now!!!

Man, thank you, you should come and replace my lecturer

Well done. Simple explanation. Supported by graphics. Good summary. Stuck to a single topic.

"Host A doesn´t know what the fuck is going on". lol, you made me laugh really loud

Good basic explanation of DHCP. I especially liked that he spoke clearly and slowly and so I've subcribed for thoise reasons alone

Awesome explanation as always. I will be your first suscriber when the CCNA course is available. Bye!

dude ... i was shocked but at the same time i was LOL ... love the way you teach! i need more of this!!!!

Great simple vid! No explanation for the frame nomenclature i.e., DHCPOFFER, etc. yet completely digestible. Great work.

Please explain about IPv4, IPv6, DNS, Vlans, Mac Adressing, and ARP. I really like how you explain the concept. Keep it up 😄.

10 times better than my teacher explanation, thanks a lot.

Best video on DHCP... Now that I know this is the best channel for CCNA atleast.. will recommend it to others as well!!!

I have an interview on Friday for an IT support job at school - this was very helpful!

dude, you are awesome! thanks for this, i have my Mobile Computing exam tomorrow and was confused about this topic. Also the swearing in between made this even more clear :P

This is a very good hannel. Use this for my interview preparation. Thank you!!

Holy shit!!!😂😂😂 where the hell is this guy in the new vids... This is amazing!!😂🤣🤣

Great synopsis of how DHCP works! Thanks for the clear and concise explanation.

Im hard to teach anything to it just does not work even in a one on one, hands on training environment but they way you explained this i actually learned it. Great video

Currently studying for my CCNA and this vid has helped alot. super simple but enough info to remember. I'll be using these for my revision. Cheers Bro :D

Please explain the concept why well know port no 67 & 68 is used?

What a great simple clear explanation of DHCP! The video had me laughing out loud 🤣

Awesome..Brilliant..Simple and easy to follow..

Thank you for making this video. It completely fixed the issue!

All your videos help me to improve my knowledge networking which I really need! thanks again 4 everything

Excellent basic explanation of DHCP. 👍

what prevents the B host from accepting the messages sent by the DHCP server? Is it its MAC address?

clear and crispy explanation. Thank you.

You literally just wrote my paper for me. Thanks.

useful video!! every time i go to router setting, there are so many words I don't understand. Hoping you can explain every words and function in the future :)

My dude you did this perfect without over complicating the explanations & functions the subscribe button has been pressed lol

Well done in explaining how DHCP works. Bravo!!!! Thank You!

Wow, perfect. AND the study notes at the end????? Amazing, will be back for more videos!

simple and clear and detailed my dear and not very long . the way it should be . thank you

This was brilliant. EXactly what I needed. Thank you

the best tutorials online-thank you very much

I found this really helpful - trying to safely and knowledgeably configure my ZTE Router for a Mac, and until I found this, I'd sat through about 5 vids, the best I could find, not a single one in English, despite several of them claiming to be, and not a single one actually using a Mac to demonstrate. You asked for suggestions: I'd be really grateful if you could follow on from this video, and explain for us how DHCP Ports and Binding fit into all this, and what we can best do to set up safe and as much as possible privacy-protecting home networks. Dunno about anyone else, but my privacy seems to slipping through my fingers like sand atm. Without naming names, a certain antivirus company's home antivirus for Mac started crashing Logic, and since I'm a professional composer, that was a problem. So I discontinued my subscription, and deleted the account and subscription via their website. Well over a year later, I am STILL getting "urgent - update account payment details" emails from them, despite having railed on Twitter in the hope of just embarrassing them into action. They keep reassuring me all is well, and refer me to their Ts and Cs. Which is utterly vague about what happens to data and info on customers once they cease to be customers.. Now, I realise this has f...k (since we're playing to the Yank gallery, if you cant beat them, join them) all to do with DHCP. But it's an example of how completely vulnerable we are, in these earliest of days of the IT Revolution. So, someone - as you've done here - explaining not just what, but why and how, is a Godsend! A Millennial (or worse, a kid at school) might think "wtf, how boring?" I believe no one under the age of about 15 bothers to even write complete words anymore, we're supposed to divine what they mean from the clues in the choice of consonants and/or vowels they leave for us. But that's the Comprehensive System for you, as Victoria Wood wrote! Meanwhile, us poor Gen Xers, once proud of our O Level Computer Studies (1983, thought myself so 'advanced' - I could write in BASIC!! How sad is that!!?) but lost in the Saharan Sands of all the jargon and "Nerd-Speak" and I don't think I speak for just myself when I say I find this hard going, infuriating (I really have no idea who the fuck's got what the fuck about me, and why are they allowed to store private info anyway?) and therefore a little scary... Perhaps it is just me...? :-) It's OK - the kids love Bond movies, but haven't a f..cking clue what an E minor 9th chord is... To each his own! (It's that crunchy chord at the end of the Bond theme!)

The explanation is so simply but yet so efficient!

Thanks a lot for this video. Very easy to understand about DHCP.

Thank you! This helped a lot for my Networking Homework!

D-iscover O-ffer R-esponse A-cknowledgement DORA

Thank you for your videos. Good length, narration is well metered and intelligible, simple and effective graphics. Nice job!

Thanks for the curse, our class got lively now XD

Thank you for the video it broadened my understanding.

Brill video! clear, quick, knowledgeable and threw in a funny expletive moment, nice!

Great pleasure and understanding from the simple graphic representation and clear explanation. The personification of different elements in the network also helps with visualization of the communication.

nicely explained. Thank you CertBros.

This channel is underrated

B be dropin' like its hot

Hi guys, There are a lot of questions about the DHCPOffer being broadcasted. Sometimes is broadcast, sometimes it's unicast. It can depend on the situation such as obtaining a new IP or renewing an existing one. I made the video like this for simplicity sake. If you fancy diving into the details, check out RFC 2131. Hopefully, this clears up any confusion.

Very clear explanation! thnx!

Thanks man that means alot and much important to me yet me still new in the industry!!

You made it very simple to understand, thank you!

Awesome video on DORA process. Kudos .

Simple and to the point explanation!!! Thank you so much,wanted to ask a question regarding the DORA process, in video why it's shown as the switch doing a broadcast during DHCPOffer,as it should do a Unicast right when it already has the MAC of the DHCP requesting client.Correct me if I am wrong

What happens if the lease expires while the comp is still on a network?

Thank you so much for the clear explanation!

I Love your method of teaching. I can't wait to watch more of your videos.

really helpful for my network hw

Couldnt be a better short video for the explanation! Great work

Excellent!! Very nice explanation ...

Thank you! i had to know for a school project.

I need more videos like this. Subscribed.

Very comprehensive. Thank you so much

Great simple explanation! Keep it up!
