12.3.2 DHCP:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns a valid IP address to a

network device on the Internet. Allocating a fixed IP address for each device will result in idle

IP addresses when the devices are not in operation. Therefore, DHCP can make more

efficient use of the IP addresses. To use this feature, you have to have a PC or router to be

set as DHCP server to provide the service.
