Definitions of DHCP:

Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic LP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. DHCP allows devices to connect to a network and be automatically assigned an IP address.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol that dynamically assigns an IP address to a computer.
webmaster.lycos.co.uk/glossary/D/
Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as ISDN routers and modem routers that allow multiple users access to the Internet. Newer DHCP servers dynamically update the DNS servers after making assignments.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point, and automatically sends a new address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Windows NT Server software that assigns an IP address to each node in a network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused. Often used for managing the IP addresses of all the cable modems in a cable plant and the PC's connected to the cable modems.

Dynamic Host Control Protocol, is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of BOOTPD). It assigns IP addresses to clients based on lease times. DHCP is used extensively by Microsoft and more recently also by Apple. It is probably essential in any multi-platform environment.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the underlying protocol for network administration giving the network manager complete control over the distribution of configuration information.
www.virtualaccess.com/Products/glossary.htm
A protocol available with many operating systems that automatically issues IP addresses within a specified range to devices on a network. The device retains the assigned address for a specific administrator-defined period.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used by client computers to retrieve and assign IP addresses, networking information and other configurations.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Dynamically assigns IP addresses to client stations located on a TCP/IP network at startup, and allows the addresses to be re-used when no longer needed. This allows a larger group of stations to share a limited pool of addresses.

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Enables automatic IP address assignment to machines when they are connected to a LAN.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. GSN Lite product contains a DHCP-client module, which interacts with the DHCP-server to allocate dynamic addresses while executing dynamic PDP context activation and deactivating contexts on explicit MS request or expiry of lease time for dynamic address so obtain.

Dynamic Host Control Protocol is a protocol for automatically assigning IP addresses to hosts joining a network. Top

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to issue a dynamic address to your computer when it is connected to a network. An available IP address is allocated and then renewed back into an availability pool when it is no longer required. Since each computer requires a unique IP address to be on the same network, DHCP allows automatic network connections without the IP address conflicts that would occur if two computers had the same static or fixed IP addresses.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information required by the host to participate on the Internet network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to hosts.

is used to automatically provide TCP/IP settings to computers on a network. Computers that receive their configuration this way are said to have a “dynamic IP address”.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol'. DHCP is a method in which a computer can obtain a valid IP address from a server. This is generally accomplished by having the MAC Address of the computer registered on the DHCP server. This protocol means that you can bring your laptop from home and connect it to the network without having to reconfigure it.
studentcomputing.usask.ca/glossary.htm
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, an Internet standard protocol that allows IP addresses to be pooled and assigned as needed to clients. Windows NT 4.0 includes DHCP Manager, a graphical DHCP configuration tool. See IP and IP address.
docs.rinet.ru/NTServak/glossary.htm
A service that assigns dynamic IP addresses to computers on a network when they first access the network.

Dynamic Host Control Protocol. A method of automatic IP configuration. A DHCP server will automatically send IP addresses to clients on the network, eliminating the necessity to set IP address manually for every computer on the network
www.lausd.k12.ca.us/lausd/resources/integration/networkvoc.html
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - In a DHCP environment, IP policy is dynamic. This means that a terminal does not have a constant IP address. Management keys for identifying endpoints in a DHCP environment are the alias name or phone number of an endpoint.

Dynamic Host Certification Protocol - A system based on network interface card addresses that is used to allocate IP addresses and other configuration information automatically for networked systems. DHCP is an update of the Bootstrap Protocol. (Ref: Dyson, Dictionary of Networking)
www.labcompliance.com/glossary/c-d-glossary.htm
DHCP stands for 'Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol'. Its basic function is to provide a newly-booting computer with all the information it needs to happily communicate on the network (this information includes things like name, IP, DNS servers, broadcast address and gateway address), thus saving the network administrator from having to go onto each machine to configure them. ...
