How DHCP works?
A
It lease the IP address for pre-configured timing
B
It reserve the IP address for devices for all the time
C
It manually set the IP address to each device
D
It creates domain for the network where it is installed in
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The server responds be delivering an IP address to the device, then monitors the use of the address and takes it back after a specified time or when the device shuts down.

Detailed explanation-2: -When DHCP sends configuration information to a client, the information is sent with a lease time. This is the length of time that the client can use the IP address it has been assigned. The duration of the lease time can be changed according to your specific requirement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The DHCP server maintains a pool of IP addresses and leases an address to any DHCP-enabled client when it starts up on the network. Because the IP addresses are dynamic (leased) rather than static (permanently assigned), addresses no longer in use are automatically returned to the pool for reallocation.
