DHCP is a protocol that enables network administrators to
centrally manage the assignment and distribution of IP
information to computers on a network.
When you enable DHCP on a network, you allow a device -
such as your ADSL/Ethernet router or a router located with your
ISP - to assign temporary IP addresses to your computers
whenever they connect to your network. The assigning device
is called a DHCP server, and the receiving device is a DHCP
client.
