Detailed explanation-2: -The most used configuration for dhcp server is the range from 192.168. 1.2-192.168. 1.254 with the subnet mask 255.255. 255.0 ( /24 ) has 254 usable IP addresses.

Detailed explanation-3: -DHCP assigns new IP addresses in each location when devices are moved from place to place, which means network administrators do not have to manually configure each device with a valid IP address or reconfigure the device with a new IP address if it moves to a new location on the network.

Detailed explanation-4: -The DHCP server determines the configuration based on the client’s hardware address as specified in the CHADDR (client hardware address) field. In the following example the server (192.168.1.1) specifies the client’s IP address in the YIADDR (your IP address) field.
