Abstract
Most common network protocols assign each computer a unique identifier. NetBEUI uses a 16-character NetBIOS name, while the TCP/IP protocol uses an IP address. In a TCP/IP environment, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can be a Network Administrator's best friend. The DHCP was designed to fill the need for automatic and centralized assignment and administration of IP addresses in a large TCP/IP-based network, and is implemented as a client/server protocol. Upon initialization, the DHCP client requests an IP address from a DHCP server, which is configured with a pool of addresses to assign to DHCP clients. The DHCP server can be configured to also send additional information to the DHCP client and to deliver additional IP addressing information in the form of DHCP options. A large number of DHCP options are available, but Microsoft network clients support only a small number of DHCP options.
