Lesson 6.2 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Every host interface needs an IP configuration to communicate on a TCP/IP network. An administrator can manually assign these IP addresses, or the assignment can be done automatically. By understanding the different methods available to you for assigning IP addresses, you can choose the method that best suits different networks and hosts.

As you study this lesson, answer the following questions: 

  • What is a DHCP scope? 
  • What type of configuration parameters can be delivered using DHCP? 
  • What type of devices can be used as a DHCP server? 
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of static and reserved IP address assignments?
