Questions tagged [dhcp]
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is commonly referred to as the service that dynamically assigns IP addresses -- which makes it easy to e.g. connect to other Wifi networks without knowing anything about their configuration. The DHCP server also tells its clients the default gateway and DNS servers to use.
