DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol)
 DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol

that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a
computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured
for a given network.
 A computer on which we install DHCP role is called ‘DHCP Server’
which start assigning IP to all computer in network. A pool is defined
while configuring DHCP server that contains all possible IP’S to
distribute among computers.
 When a DHCP server receives a request from a client, it chooses an IP
address and other related information from a pool of addresses known
as a scope and offers it to the client.
 If the client accepts the address offered, the IP addressing
information is leased to it for a specified duration. During this time,
the client renews the address assignment each time it logs on to the
network.

 The DHCP server provides the client with the following configuration information:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Default gateway
 Clients must be enabled to use DHCP by clicking Obtain an IP address
automatically in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
 DHCP has a number of advantages:
 1) There is no need to manually configure each client with an IP address.
 2) You don't need to keep a record of the IP addresses that you have assigned.
 3) You can release the IP address of a computer that is offline and reassign the
address to another computer.
