It allows machines to configure their own network settings by querying a server about the details of the network. Thus, you can make global configuration changes like renumbering your network in a central place, rather than having to change the static [IP] of every single host separately. You can still give machines static [IP]s with [DHCP] by binding [IP]s to [MAC] addresses. |

[DHCP] is not restricted to giving machines [IP]s. In fact, it can be used to configure a huge number of network related settings. Two such settings commonly configured via [DHCP] are the gateway and [DNS] server addresses for clients to use. |
