Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. The system administrator assigns a range of IP addresses to DHCP and each client computer on the LAN has its TCP/IP software configured to request an IP address from the DHCP server. The request and grant process uses a lease concept with a controllable time period.

What d0es bootp mean?

BOOTP stands for Bootstrap Protocol, a network protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and configure network settings for devices on a network. It was primarily designed for diskless workstations to obtain an IP address and bootstrap information from a server. BOOTP allows clients to request an IP address and other configuration details from a server, which responds with the necessary information. While largely replaced by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), BOOTP is still relevant in some legacy systems.

What protocol automatically configures IP configuration for a client?

The protocol that automatically configures IP settings for a client is called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP allows devices on a network to receive IP addresses and other network configuration parameters automatically, eliminating the need for manual configuration. When a client connects to the network, it sends a request to the DHCP server, which then assigns an available IP address and provides additional information like the subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers.
