- DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) it is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP address to devices on a network.
- A device can have different IP address everytime it connects to a network.
- In some systems, IP addresses can even change while it is still connected.
- Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task.
- This means that a new computer can be added to a network, no need of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
- Many ISPs use dynamic IP addressing for internet subscribers.
