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.
