DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is available in Windows
NT, NetWare 5 and UNIX systems, and allows for the automatic but
temporary assignment of IP addresses from a central pool. DHCP
causes the selected host to automatically allocate and download an
unused IP address to the requesting print server. It also provides
validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will remain
valid.
To fully benefit from this method, the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e also
supports the WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available
in Windows NT networks.
