DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a 

protocol that automatically allocates information such as 

an IP address to a computer (client) which is temporarily 

connected to the Internet. The DHCP server maintains 

other parameters such as IP address for the gateway 

server or DNS server, subnet mask, and the range of IP 

addresses that can be provided to clients, and provides the 

information to dial-up users. 

When the client finishes accessing, the DHCP automatically 

collects the addresses and allocates them to another 

computer. The DHCP allows users to connect to the 

Internet easily, even if they are not familiar with network 

settings. Moreover, the DHCP allows the network 

administrator to manage multiple clients easily.

order to connect wireless communication devices (such as a 

lap top PC) together to form a wireless LAN network.

the access point in an IEEE 802.11x series wireless LAN 

network. It consists of a maximum of 32 alphanumeric
