DHCP
Also known as: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Following adds this technology to your private workspace so related learning is easier to organise and revisit.
What is DHCP?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically assigns IP configuration and related network settings to clients. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
A DHCP exchange leases addresses and options such as subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers from a managed scope. Relay agents carry requests across routed boundaries, while reservations, lease duration, high availability and rogue-server protection affect reliability.
Provide clients with controlled, automatic network configuration.
- Automated IP address assignment
- Network configuration for client devices
- Managing IP address pools
