DHCP

protocol used to assign IP addresses to computers on a Microsoft NT local area network (Computers)

"DHCP" redirects here. This article is about the networking protocol. For other uses, see DHCP (disambiguation).Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address is assigned to a second client while the first client's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired). Thus IP address pool management is done by the server and not by a human network administrator.
