DHCP (DHCP setting)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol that
assigns the information required to establish a network connection when
a host attempts to connect to the network (Internet). This information
includes the IP address of the local node and the default router (the
router in the host's own network system) and the DNS (Domain Name
System) server. DHCP is an extension of the BOOTP (Bootstrap) startup
protocol.
