4.4 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol used for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
DHCP used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as
the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server.DHCP used
by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default
gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server.
The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, for example, no IP address is assigned to
a second client while the first client's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired). Therefore, IP
address pool management is done by the server and not by a human network administrator.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP
addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new
computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP
address.
