Describe dynamic addressing through a DHCP server.

What will be an ideal response?

Dynamic addressing through a DHCP server is a very common way to configure TCP/IP on many networks, particularly medium-sized and large networks. To enable this type of configuration, you must first install and configure a DHCP server on the network. This server can be configured to dynamically assign an IP address to all the client computers that are set up to automatically obtain an IP address. In addition to assigning the IP address, the DHCP server can also assign the subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, and other IP settings.

Using a DHCP server can save you a great deal of administrative effort. You only need to configure one server and most of your TCP/IP tasks are done.
