Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP isa protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate
the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet's set
of protocols (TCP/IP), each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique
IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection to
the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer and, if
computersmove toanother locationin anotherpart ofthe network, a newIP address
must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP
addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a
computer is plugged into a different place in the network.
dynamic IP address
A dynamic IP address changes. Dynamic IP addresses are assigned to computers by
an IP address server as the computer needs it. Usually there is a particular range, or
scope, of IP addresses that your network uses. With dynamic IP addressing, a
computer can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.
Other devices must know the computer’s IP address so that they can communicate
with it. The IP address server manages the assignment of IP addresses to the client
workstations. See also static IP address.
E
Emergency 911 dialing
The capability to access a public emergency response system by dialing the digits
