DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

A protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network is called a DHCP. Computers that utilise DHCP are able gain IP specifications from a network server. The specifications might be IP addresses. DHCP is based upon the client-server model. This type of protocol may consume more bandwidth when a user makes a query to a DHCP server as well in some instances DHCP can't always be available to access organisational networks. Some pros to this however is the fact that human errors such as typing ones are minimized, as well as address conflicts caused by previously assigned IP addresses, through the adoption of DCHP.
