1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
The next type of Special Address is the Local Broadcast Address
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
This is used to communicate with all devices on the local Network
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The address is populated with binary 1s so it looks like this
4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
in binary or this in decimal
5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
In other words all octets are populated with binary 1s
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
which equates to 255.255.255.255
7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
this address is used for example by a host
8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
when requesting an IP Address from DHCP server
9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
The host doesn't have an IP Address yet, so it doesn't know which
10
10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
subnet it belongs to, it also doesn't know the IP Address of the
11
11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
DHCP server so it will send a broadcast to this address
12
12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
the Local Broadcast Address to request an IP Address
13
13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
from a DHCP server, just in case you're not familiar
14
14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
with DHCP, DHCP is Dynamic host Configuration Protocol
15
15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
and it's a service that provides IP Addresses dynamically
16
16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
to devices such as PCs, phones, iPads, IP Telephones
17
17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
and other devices that you may encounter on a Network
18
18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
So rather than you manually configuring IP Addresses
19
19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
on your iPhone or your iPad or an IP Telephone or a PC
20
20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
for that matter, you would allow that device to boot up
21
21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
sends out a broadcast to the Local Broadcast Address and the
22
22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
DHCP server hears that broadcast and then allocates
23
23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
an IP Address to the host from a pool of IP Addresses
24
24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
or scope of IP Addresses, you've probably encounter this
25
25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
many many times so as an example at home you may have a broadband
26
26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
or DSL type router providing wireless connectivity at home
27
27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
so that you can get on to the Internet
28
28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
when your PC or your iPad or other devices connect
29
29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
to that Wireless Network that automatically allocated
30
30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
an IP Address in the same way when you go to Starbucks
31
31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
or another coffee shop, you may be an IP Address
32
32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
via DHCP server providing both Wireless connectivity
33
33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
as well as IP Addresses to Client devices
34
34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Be aware that Local Broadcast Addresses are always dropped
35
35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
by Layer 3 devices such as routers and Layer 3 switches
36
36
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
you can override that functionality by configuring what
37
37
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
is called DHCP forwarding also called DHCP relay
38
38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
on your routers and switches, so as an example if you had a PC
39
39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
or device in VLAN 10 but your DHCP server
40
40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
was on a different VLAN or different Network
41
41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
somewhere else in your topology
42
42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
the DHCP request from the PC or phone would not be received
43
43
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
by the DHCP server by default, you would have to configure
44
44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
IP forwarding or IP DHCP relay
45
45
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
on the switch or router to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP
46
46
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
server, so you would type an example like ip helper address
47
47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
and then specify the DHCP servers IP Address on the router
48
48
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
or Layer 3 switch, typically in this example
49
49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
the router or switch still blocks the Local Broadcast
50
50
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
so when it receive that Local Broadcast from a PC or phone
51
51
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
it drops it but then sends a Unicast DHCP request
52
52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
to the DHCP server on behalf of the PC or phone
53
53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
in VLAN 10, this then allows the router or switch to
54
54
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
proxy the DHCP request on behalf of the PC or IP Phone
55
55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
What you need to be aware of is that traffic sent
56
56
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
to this address 255.255.255.255 is dropped by routers
57
57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
in Layer 3 switches, additional configuration is required
58
58
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
on the router or layer 3 switch if you want PCs
59
59
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
in different VLANs to receive IP Addresses from a DHCP server
60
60
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
in a remote or different VLAN and that's because once again
61
61
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
and that's because once again routers and switches
62
62
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
drop this Broadcast Address by default
