Hey,
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP assigns a temporary IP to the client within the range of number system so that it can access the internet with its identity.

DNCP Server is a network server that automatically provides and assigns an IP address, default gateways and other network parameters to client devices so that they can properly communicate on the network. It works on the standard protocol which is known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP so as to respond to broadcast queries by clients.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to dynamically assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to any device, or node, on a network so they can communicate using IP. DHCP automates and centrally manages these configurations rather than requiring network administrators to manually assign IP addresses to all network devices. DHCP can be implemented on small local networks as well as large enterprise networks.
