DHCP is a network management protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers, to devices on a network. Network administrators rely on it to avoid manually configuring every device, enabling computers, phones, and other devices to join a network and communicate immediately. It is a foundational protocol used in nearly every home, business, and enterprise network.
