DHCP Configuration
DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol that is a protocol for
assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a
device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some
systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also
supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. 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.
