DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Rather than manuallly assigning IP adresses to devices when they join the network, DHCP does this on its own. Once a new device connects to the network, the DHCP is responsible for assigning in network configuration parameters such as subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers, and an IP adress. This saves time and effort as you do not have someone manually doing this every time a device joins the network. It also prevents human error. DHCP's recycle IP adresses when they are done being used. Eg. device has left the network, so it's IP adress is assigned to another device who needs one. DHCP works via interactions between the server and client. DHCP Server : A network device (router/dedicated server) that manages IP address allocation. It maintains a pool of available IP addresses and configuration parameters. DHCP Client : Any device that connects to the network and requests network configuration parameters from the DHCP server.…
