3.4.1 DHCP Service
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol for LAN utilizing
UDP and TCP. DHCP automatically distributes IP addresses for either a local net-
work or network service provider, and can aid network administrators in managing all
the computers on a network. A DHCP server refers to a computer managing DHCP
standard in a network. It distributes IP addresses once the work station logs on and
ensures that no duplicate IP addresses are assigned. DHCP Server dramatically sim-
plifies network management tasks, and is a necessity in today's network.
