Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 183
Not All Applications lend themselves easily to address translation by
NAT devices. Especially, the applications that carry IP Addresses inside
the payload.
NAT devices operate on the assumption that each session is
independent. Application, such as H.323, that use one or more
control follow-on sessions, require the use of an Application Level
Gateway (ALG). The ALG will help interpret and translate the payload,
so that it will be prepared for follow-on data sessions.
NAT increases the risk of mis-addressing. For example, the same local
address may be bound to different global address at different times
and vise versa.
For more information on NAT, see

Dynamic Host
Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a protocol that allows computers
on a network to get TCP/IP settings from a centralized server. This
configuration information includes elements such as IP Address, subnet
mask, DNS server address, and so forth. Here's how it works:
A DHCP server provides a dynamic, leasedaddress to a DHCP client.
This means that the client will be able to use the provided IP address for a
certain period of time. The DHCP server will not give this address to a
different client during the lease period, thus ensuring that there are no
address conflicts. When the lease expires, then the client may renew the
lease. If it does not renew the lease (for instance, if it has been switched
off), then the server may give the dynamic address to a different client.
The Firewall contains both a DHCP server and client. They are used for
different purposes. The DHCP server can be used to provide machines on
the LAN with configuration information. This can make it much easier to
administer these machines, since individual hosts do not need to
configure one-at-a-time. The Firewall's DHCP server also supports an
older protocol called BootP.
The DHCP client is used in conjunction with Network Address Translation.
The Firewall can use its DHCP client to automatically configure the
Firewall WAN IP Address, WAN subnet mask, and other parameters. This
can be useful for corporate Intranets, cable modem networks, or other
environments where dynamic addressing is desirable.
