DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that allows network adminis- trators to manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's net- work. Each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up the users with a 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 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.
