DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An auto-configuration protocol used on IP networks. Computers or any
network peripherals that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with
other computers on the network. DHCP allows a computer to be configured automatically, eliminating the
need for a network administrator. DHCP also provides a central database to keep track of computers con-
nected to the network; this database helps prevent any two computers from being configured with the same
IP address.
