What is DHCP?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an application layer network management protocol that provides a quick, automatic and central system for the distribution and assignment of IP addresses and TCP/IP configuration information for clients in a network.
DHCP can be used to assign subnet mask information, default gateway IP addresses, domain name system (DNS) addresses, and more. Another feature of DHCP configurations is that they are time-bound by the DHCP Lease Time, which determines how often they will need to be renewed.
