Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a system administrator’s best friend for sure. Without DHCP, you had to manually assign an IP address and track which IP addresses were assigned. DHCP automates that process. It can automatically assign IP addresses out to systems on a lease-based system. When the lease has gotten to 50 percent of the configured lease duration time, the client will request that the IP address be renewed. If a system needs to keep the same IP address, you can set a reservation for that IP address. For as long as the system in question has the same network interface card, it will get the same IP address. As an additional bonus, you can set DHCP options for each scope that is defined. These options may tell the systems in the scope where they can find their gateway server, their DNS servers, where an imaging server might reside, and so on.
