DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's
network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect 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 and, if computers move to another location in another part of the
network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator 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.
