Why Is Dhcp Preferred For Use On Large Networks?

Why is DHCP preferred for use on large networks?

• More IP address resolution requests are sent by the larger network for the domain.
• An authentic transport layer protocol is used by DHCP.
• Those files which are copyrighted should be kept restricted by DHCP.
• Using DHCP is effective for keeping IP addresses rather than static addresses.
• The large network uses or needs many IP address configurations.

Answer: The assignment of the static address requires manual staff addresses to configure each network host. it is easy for the larger network to change frequently and a larger number of hosts to configure regardless of the short network. Using DHCP is effective for keeping IP addresses rather than static addresses.

Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that operates on an IP network and the server of DHCP assigns the IP address and requires useful information to every host present on that network so that they can communicate with the endpoint with greater efficiency. Apart from the IP address, DHCP is capable to assign the subnet mask, default gateway, DNS, and many other parameters.

The DHCP components are listed in the following sections:

DHCP server:

A server is a device that contains all the useful information including IP address. it may be a router or nay device which works as a host.

DHCP client:

The client is the end where the configuration information is received from the server. It is either a mobile, laptop computer that is connected to the network.

IP address pool:

These are the addresses range that is present for the DHCP client and maintain in a sequence starting from low to high.

Subnet:

The IP addresses are divided into fragments called subnet which helps in the maintenance of the network.

Lease: 

Lease is the time limit of the information which is in the control of the DHCP client, if it is expire then the client has to renew it.

DHCP relay: 

It is the host which looks at the client messages which are broadcast on the network and sends them toward the server and vice versa.
