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 network 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 simplifies
network management tasks, and is a necessity in today's network.
