Study Notes
- DHCP enables automatic IP address and network configuration for devices
- It eliminates the need for manual IP address configuration, saving time and reducing errors
- DHCP assigns available IP addresses dynamically to devices as they connect to the network
- It also provides other network configuration settings like subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server information
- DHCP efficiently manages IP addresses and simplifies network administration
- Static IP addressing involves manually configuring IP addresses on each device, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors
- DHCP may not be suitable in situations where a device requires a fixed IP address for security or performance reasons
- Rogue DHCP servers can pose security risks on a network
- Security measures like DHCP snooping and port security can mitigate these risks
- Proper configuration of DHCP is important for network security and efficient management of IP addresses.
