In 1995, the Veterans Affairs ' patient Admission / Tracking / Discharge system, Decentralized Hospital Computer Program ( DHCP ) was the recipient of the Computerworld Smithsonian Award for best use of Information Technology in Medicine.

In July 2006, the Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) / Veterans Health Administration ( VHA ) was the recipient of the Innovations in American Government Award presented by the Ash Institute of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University for its extension of DHCP into the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture ( VistA ).

The server will normally have the IP address 192. 168. 0. 1 ( changeable from the registry or via the IP settings ) and will provide NAT services to the whole 192. 168. 0. x subnet, even if the address on the client was set manually, not by the DHCP server.

NetBIOS over TCP / IP ( NetBT ) support as a compatibility layer for TCP / IP was introduced as also the Microsoft DHCP and WINS clients and DHCP and WINS servers.

Peg DHCP ( RFC 2322 ) was used during the event to allocate IP addresses.

The first implementations of dynamic DNS fulfilled this purpose: Host computers gained the feature to notify their respective DNS server of the address they had received from a DHCP server or through self-configuration.

Each device must implement a DHCP client and search for a DHCP server when the device is first connected to the network.

Before fetching its first page, a web browser implementing this method sends the local DHCP server a DHCPINFORM query, and uses the URL from the WPAD option in the server's reply.

* automatic allocation: The DHCP server permanently assigns a free IP address to a requesting client from the range defined by the administrator.

RFC 2132 describes the available DHCP options defined by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA )-DHCP and BOOTP PARAMETERS.

ISC is the developer of several key Internet technologies that enable the global Internet ; such as BIND, ISC DHCP, OpenReg, ISC AFTR, an implementation of an IPv4 / IPv6 transition protocol based on Dual-Stack Lite, which is under development by several large ISPs within the IETF protocol standards development process.

The ANX 1500 throughput acceleration appliance supports TCP / IP, NFS, DHCP and 10GbE standards and features 48GB of DRAM and up to 4TB of solid state drives.

Doing network administration without having user accounts to track user activity ( illegal or otherwise ) or DHCP to automate IP assignment to nodes, or DNS to simplify IP address access would be troublesome indeed.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) is a network protocol that is used to configure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP network.

A DHCP client uses the DHCP protocol to acquire configuration information, such as an IP address, a default route and one or more DNS server addresses from a DHCP server.

Because the DHCP protocol must work correctly even before DHCP clients have been configured, the DHCP server and DHCP client must be connected to the same network link.

The protocol expects the DHCP client to configure its network interface with the negotiated parameters.

As client devices usually do not know when users may unplug them from the network, the protocol does not mandate the sending of DHCP Release.

* It is simple, suitable for bootstrapping or other purposes without a full protocol stack, such as the DHCP and Trivial File Transfer Protocol.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) is a more advanced protocol for the same purpose and has superseded the use of BOOTP.

The PXE protocol is approximately a combination of DHCP and TFTP, albeit with subtle modifications to both.

Some aspects of the PXE protocol require that the DHCP and TFTP servers be modified and communicate.

* In computer networking, DORA is an acronym used to describe the Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge process in the DHCP protocol

In computing, ( internet protocol configuration ) in Microsoft Windows is a console application that displays all current TCP / IP network configuration values and can modify Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP and Domain Name System DNS settings.

** Network protocol clients: AirPlay / AirTunes, UPnP, SMB / SAMBA / CIFS, AFP, DAAP, Zeroconf / Avahi / Bonjour, NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RTSP ( RTSPU, RTSPT ), MMS ( MMSU, MMST ), Podcasting, TCP, UDP, SFTP, RTP and RTMP ( including RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPE, RTMPTE, RTMPS ), DHCP, NTP

# Or, the thin client will use PXE or NetBoot network booting, a part of the onboard Ethernet firmware, to request an IP address and boot server ( the LTSP server ) using the DHCP protocol.

For the DHCP protocol, any URL is usable.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) is a protocol used by networked devices ( clients ) to obtain various parameters necessary for the clients to operate in an Internet Protocol ( IP ) network.

Gilmore is co-author with Bill Croft of the 1985 Bootstrap Protocol ( RFC 951 ), which evolved into DHCP, the primary way to obtain an IP address upon joining an Ethernet or wireless network.

In this form it is used primarily as an extension of the DHCP system, and in which the authorized DHCP servers register the clients ' records with the nameserver ( s ) ( Windows servers are an exception: by default, Windows servers only register ' A ' records and the DHCP clients are expected to register the reverse pointers ).

It has been rendered obsolete by the Bootstrap Protocol ( BOOTP ) and the modern Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ), which both support a much greater feature set than RARP.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automates network-parameter assignment to network devices from one or more DHCP servers.

After the client obtains an IP address, the client may use the Address Resolution Protocol ( ARP ) to prevent IP conflicts caused by overlapping address pools of DHCP servers.

In the Application Layer ( Layer 7 ), the cable modem supports certain protocols that are used for management and maintenance, notably Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ), SNMP, and TFTP.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) allowed enterprises and Internet service providers ( ISPs ) to assign addresses to computers automatically as they powered up.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) and Domain Name System ( DNS ) servers are optional and are only used if they are available on the network.

It accomplishes this without assistance of server-based configuration mechanisms, such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) or the Domain Name System ( DNS ), and without special static configuration of a network host.

Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) and Domain Name System ( DNS ), or configure each computer's network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.

It makes use of several network protocols like Internet Protocol ( IPv4 ), User Datagram Protocol ( UDP ), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol ( TFTP ) and of concepts like Globally Unique Identifier ( GUID ), Universally Unique Identifier ( UUID ) and Universal Network Device Interface and extends the firmware of the PXE client ( the computer to be bootstrapped via PXE ) with a set of predefined Application Programming Interfaces ( APIs ).

In the context of application design, an address pool may be the availability of a set of addresses ( IP address, MAC address ) available to an application that is shared among its users, or available for allocation to users, such as in host configurations with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ).

* Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP )

The Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol ( WPAD ) is a method used by clients to locate a URL of a configuration file using DHCP and / or DNS discovery methods.

The WPAD standard defines two alternative methods the system administrator can use to publish the location of the proxy configuration file, using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) or the Domain Name System ( DNS ):
