3.3.4 DHCP Server

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that lets network
administrators to manage centrally and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can be
connected to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its
computer 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 to 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. If the DHCP server is enabling, you have to set up the following parameters for
processing it as DHCP server.
The embedded DHCP server assigns network configuration information at most 253 users
accessing the Internet at the same time.
