DHCP

DHCP is an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a network configuration protocol for hosts on Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with other hosts. DHCP eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments. Other than IP information the DHCP also provides info on service hosts in general but particularly network boot servers.
