Definition: DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) The automatic assigning of temporary IP addresses to client machines logging into an IP network. The DHCP software, which resides in the router or a server, eliminates the need to manually assign permanent "static" IP addresses to devices. In a home network, the DHCP is typically in the wireless router or wired router. See IP address, DDNS, APIPA, link-local address, DNS and WINS.
