dynamic host configuration protocol

protocollo di configurazione dinamica tramite host

English thesaurus

A protocol used by networked computers clients to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask and IP addresses of domain name system DNS servers from a DHCP server (The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique (e.g., no IP address is assigned to a second client while the first client's assignment is valid [its lease has not expired]). Thus, IP address pool management is done by the server and not by a human network administrator)
