What does DHCP stand for?

The correct answer is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a network management protocol used on IP networks for automating the process of configuring devices on IP networks. It allows a server to assign dynamic IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to each device (like computers and printers) on a network, enabling them to communicate on an IP network without manual intervention. By dynamically allocating these parameters, DHCP simplifies the management of IP address allocation, ensures that devices do not attempt to use conflicting addresses, and streamlines the overall network configuration process.
