Study Notes
Dynamic IP Address Assignment
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for dynamically assigning IP addresses.
Static IP Address Configuration Challenges
- Mistakes are easily made when dealing with static IP address configuration due to manual entry of IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS server addresses.
- IP address conflicts can occur between two devices on a network if they are manually assigned the same IP address.
IP Address Conflict Consequences
- If an IP address conflict occurs between two devices on a network, only one device can communicate on the network, while the other device will be unable to connect.
Manually Assigned IP Addresses
- Keeping track of manually assigned IP addresses is difficult in a network without DHCP, especially in large networks, as it requires manual record-keeping and updating.
DHCP Server Benefits
- The use of a DHCP server minimizes typographical errors in IP address configuration, as IP addresses are automatically assigned, eliminating the need for manual entry.
