Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized network protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
DHCP is controlled by a DHCP server that dynamically distributes network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, for interfaces and services. A router or a residential gateway can be enabled to act as a DHCP server. A DHCP server enables computers to request IP addresses and networking parameters automatically, reducing the need for a network administrator or a user to configure these settings manually.
1. Create and delete IP address pool
2. Configure IP address pool parameters
3. Process DHCP message from client
4. Assign IP address for DHCP client
5. Manage reserved IP address
6. Monitor active IP address
