Dynamic Host Configuration
What is Dynamic Host Configuration?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks, whereby a DHCP server dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks. DHCP automates and centrally manages IP address assignment, preventing address conflicts and improving network administration efficiency. It is commonly used to provide devices on a network with the necessary information to connect to the internet or other network resources, such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses.
