Distributed DHCP infrastructure offers several advantages, including improved reliability and redundancy, as multiple servers can handle requests, reducing the risk of a single point of failure. It also enhances scalability, allowing organizations to easily expand their network by adding more DHCP servers as needed. Additionally, distributing DHCP services can optimize network performance by reducing latency and load on individual servers, ensuring efficient IP address allocation across various locations.
Advantages:Clients have ready access to their DHCP servers.All client/server traffic is local.There is no worry about DHCP traffic adding to the burden of routers.
It is what... DHCP is designed to automatically distributed IP addresses to connected to the same network devices.

DHCP s just a server that provides IP details to a computer. Since it can be set up to give statc IP address details to specific computers it has no disadvantage....unless of course the DHCP server crashes.
Some of the disadvantages of the centralized network is that it is complex to computation. The other disadvantage is that a single point failure may affect the entire network.
The port 67 and port 68 are used by DHCP and the DHCP clients.
There are several advantages, such as you do not need to manually configure each client with its own address. You can release your IP of one offline computer and imediately assign it to another online computer.
dhcp has to be authorized
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
There are a number of potential advantages of virtual infrastructure. Some of the most obvious are lower hardware requirements, simpler systems management and operations and more efficient disaster recovery processes.
