Answer:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (that is, a scope) configured for a given network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) involves two main entities; DHCP Server and DHCP Client. When a computer is added to a network, it goes through a four-step process in order to get an IP address. The computer acts as DHCP Client in this process and gets an IP address from the DHCP Server.
