Generation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. When a device connects to a network, it sends a DHCP discover message, and a DHCP server responds by offering an available IP address from its address pool, which the device can then request and use. This eliminates the need for manual IP address configuration on each device. **Key concept**: The DHCP lease time determines how long a device can use an assigned IP address before needing to renew it, typically expressed as: **Lease Time = T1 (50% renewal) + T2 (87.5% rebinding) phases**, where clients attempt renewal at T1 and rebinding at T2 if renewal fails.
