rotocol. It provides a complete description of
a mathematical algorithm for encrypting (enciphering) and decrypting (deciphering) binary coded
information.
DHCP used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as
the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server.
The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, for example, no IP address is assigned to
a second client while the first client's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired). Therefore, IP
address pool management is done by the server and not by a human network administrator.
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.
DHCP Server Mode Configuration
DHCP Server is used to allocate network addresses and deliver configuration parameters to
dynamically configured hosts called DHCP client.
This section configures global mode and VLAN mode to enable/disable DHCP server per system and
per VLAN.
