Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (Dhcp) - Dell MXL 10GbE Reference Manual

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is an application layer protocol that dynamically assigns IP
addresses and other configuration parameters to network end-stations (hosts) based on the
configuration policies the network administrators determine.
An MXL switch can operate as a DHCP server or DHCP client. As a DHCP client, the switch requests an IP
address from a DHCP server.
