However, DHCP is vulnerable to different attacks; therefore, the essential objective of this paper is to propose solutions against DHCP attacks. The paper gives an explanation about how DHCP works and understand the handshake mechanism and give a brief summary about DHCP attack, how they occur and how they affect the security of the enterprise since a leakage of sensitive Information could happen, which threatens the enterprise's security or a denial of service that immobilizes the network. Three effective countermeasures are looked up and tested against DHCP attacks, and each one successfully prevented the attack.
