How to Install a DHCP Server in Windows
A DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a set of guidelines used by networked devices to communicate to get necessary parameters for them to operate in an Internet network. This is used to minimize the need to ask necessary questions or having to do things manually. A DCHP is required when you need to obtain an IP address to use on a website.
