4.4.7 DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that lets network

administrators to manage centrally and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP)

addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can

connect to the Internet needs an unique IP address. When an organization sets up its

computer users with connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each

machine.

Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move

to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP

lets a network administrator to supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and

automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the

network.
