Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an extremely powerful and popular mechanism by which IP addresses and other related network information are dynamically assigned to network clients when they are attached to a network. This provides significant reductions in terms of network management overheads, particularly on large networks, by avoiding the necessity to manually assign settings to each client.
