Answer-Which protocol is used to assign IP addresses automatically to devices on a network?

Question

Accepted Answer

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically assigns IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS server addresses to network devices. Without DHCP, administrators would have to manually configure each device static IP. Banks use DHCP for internal networks with DHCP snooping enabled for security.
