Topic 3: The Dynamic World of DHCP

• DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• DHCP - is a network protocol that enables devices to obtain IP address and other network configuration settings automatically.
• Static IP Addressing - involves manually configuring IP addresses on each device on the network. This can be time consuming and prone to errors, especially in large networks.
• To mitigate these risks in DHCP, network administration should implement security such as:

  • DHCP Snooping
  • Port Security
