Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client–server architecture.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
The technology eliminates the need for individually configuring network devices manually, and consists of two network components, a centrally installed network DHCP server) and client instances of the protocol stack on each computer or device. When connected to the network, and periodically thereafter, a client requests a set of parameters from the server using DHCP.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP can be implemented on networks ranging in size from residential networks to large campus networks and regional ISP networks. Many routers) and residential gateways have DHCP server capability. Most residential network routers receive a unique IP address within the ISP network. Within a local network, a DHCP server assigns a local IP address to each device.
