IT Interview Questions:Benefits of using DHCP
DHCP provides the following benefits for administering your TCP/IP-based
network:
Safe and reliable configuration
DHCP avoids configuration errors
caused by the need to manually type in values at each computer. Also, DHCP
helps prevent address conflicts caused by a previously assigned IP address
being reused to configure a new computer on the network.
Reduces
configuration management
Using DHCP servers can greatly decrease time spent
configuring and reconfiguring computers on your network. Servers can be
configured to supply a full range of additional configuration values when
assigning address leases. These values are assigned using DHCP options. Also,
the DHCP lease renewal process helps assure that where client configurations
need to be updated often (such as users with mobile or portable computers who
change locations frequently), these changes can be made efficiently and
automatically by clients communicating directly with DHCP servers.
nteroperability issues
The following section covers issues that affect the
use of the DHCP Server service with other services or network configurations.
