Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking protocol. Most organizations use DHCP. 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.
