DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a language computers use to ask for an IP address when first connecting to a network. It is used to assign IP addresses and network information so the new computer can connect to various other servers running on the network. A residential router or gateway automatically performs these functions. It is importand that each network only include one DHCP server, or conflicts could occur. Depending on circumstances and the way the server was setup, it may accept or deny the request. The latter case being the computer will not be able to communicate on the network.

It is useful only in small environments.

It will be used only when first DNS service won't be accessible. P.S.
