Detailed explanation-1: -DHCP is an under-the-covers mechanism that automates the assignment of IP addresses to fixed and mobile hosts that are connected wired or wirelessly. When a device wants access to a network that’s using DHCP, it sends a request for an IP address that is picked up by a DHCP server.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation. If a DHCP server was given a /24 subnet to use for host IP’s for example 192.168. 1.0/24 it would not be allowed to assign the Network address of 192.168. 1.0 or the Broadcast address of 192.168.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two kinds of IP addresses: static and dynamic.
Detailed explanation-4: -DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to dynamically assign an IP address to any device, or node, on a network so it can communicate using IP.
Detailed explanation-5: -Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
