Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and compatibility
problems. DHCP is an alternative to BOOTP, which reduces the agony of assigning static IP
addresses and also provides advanced configuration options.
Note: The figure on the next page may help you understand how DHCP assigns an IP
address.
