DHCP

DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a network management protocol used on IP networks. It automates the process of assigning IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network parameters to devices, allowing them to communicate on the network. Instead of manually configuring each device, DHCP servers dynamically "lease" IP addresses to clients for a specific period, streamlining network administration and preventing IP address conflicts.
