The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a computer networking protocol used by hosts (DHCP clients) to retrieve IP Address assignments and other configuration information.
DHCP uses a Client Server architecture. The client sends a broadcast request for configuration information. The DHCP server receives the request and responds with configuration information from its configuration database. The client gets the IP Address, subnet mask to be used, the default gateway for the network minimally. The proxy server information also can be passed on to the client from the DHCP Server. The lease period can be decided based on the individual requirement and after the lease period is over, the IP Address is released to the IP Pool and reassigned to the same/different machine based on the requirement.
