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

servers can greatly decrease time spent to 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.
