E. DHCP Server
The DHCP server maintains a database of available IP addresses and
configuration information. When it receives a request from a client, the DHCP
server determines the network to which the DHCP client is connected. It then
allocates an IP address or prefix appropriate for the client, and sends
configuration information appropriate for that client.
DHCP servers typically grant IP addresses to clients for a limited interval called
a lease.
DHCP clients are responsible for renewing their IP address before that interval
has expired, and must stop using the address once the interval has expired, if
they have not been able to renew it. DHCP is used for IPv4 and IPv6. While both
versions serve the same purpose, the details of the protocol for IPv4 and IPv6
are sufficiently different that they should be considered separate protocols.
The router acts as the DHCP server and assigns the IP Address to device(s)
connected to the network.
