What is DHCP on the Computer network?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP is a standardized network protocol that enables users to dynamically and transparently assign reusable IP addresses. If you have a DHCP server installed and configured on your network, all DHCP-enabled clients obtain IP addresses and related framework parameters every time they start and join the network. Means DHCP enables devices such as routers or servers to assign IP addresses to computer systems connecting to the network. And In most home and small businesses, the router acts as the DHCP server.
