Ques : What is Dynamic host configuration protocol

 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol. For a network with large number of IP based systems (Systems assigned an IP address) it is almost impractical to assign IP addresses manually. To automate this process Dynamic Host Configuration protocol was designed. DHCP server dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters (like: default gateway, subnet mask, DNS server IP etc) to each device on a network.
