DHCP Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A Computer network protocol also known as Client/Server protocol.
The DHCP automatically provides an IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
They use DHCP to assign IP Addresses to Devices such as Windows XP, Networking flashcards, OIt DHCP and BootP services, and connecting routers. The definition for DHCP is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
its the name of a DHCP daemon. It can be used to manage ip adresses in a network.

The use of a DHCP relay agent is an agent that relays DHCP between DHCP clients and DHCP servers on different IP networks. The DHCP relay agent is compliant with RFC 1542.
router (config)# ip dhcp servicerouter (dhcp-config)# ip dhcp pool router (dhcp-config)# network
Your network adapter must configured to receive IP address from DHCP server (default in Windows), also your firewall must allow connection to the port 67.
(DHCP) Dynamic host Configuration Protocol. The Default Port Number is: for DHCP client : 546 for DHCP server : 547
yes DHCP require the authorization of the dhcp server before IP addresses can be allocated because until we authorize DHCP server the network does not know who is the dhcp server for the subnet. The DHCP server broadcasts the information to all.
Those are the four phases of acquiring an IP address via DHCP. More information would be needed to indicate which of the 4 phases are being used at this point.
