Best Answer

By implementing DHCP, you would eliminate the need to set-up IP addresses manually.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) simplifies the management of IP address configuration by automating address configuration for network clients.

Weather dhcp offer is unicast or not?

The answer is yes. The RFC 1541 states that a server "should" try unicast first, but then can use broadcast when offering. Some OS's like Microsoft skip the unicast part of this as it is not required. I would like to improve upon this answer As i see in RFC 1541, server would try to unicast DHCP offer in case it has received DHCP Discover from a DHCP relay agent otherwise it would broadcast. Would like to know if anybody differ in opinion....
