What is DHCP?
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a standardized network protocol used on Internet Protocol networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces and services. DHCP Server can be any server (Linux or Windows) that is used to distribute IP addresses automatically to the clients in the network. Since, DHCP Server assigns IP addresses automatically to all systems, a system or Network administrator need not to assign IP addresses manually to every single machine in the network. DHCP is opt for system or Network administrator who is managing thousands of systems.
