What is a DHCP server?

A DHCP server provides unique IP addresses to computers or other networked devices on the same IP subnet network. The DHCP server guarantees that no two devices on the network will have the same IP addresses. This address resolution prevents IP collisions that can cause network problems.

[Back to FAQs index] A “DHCP” is the abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The GallantWEB DHCP server allows centralized configuration of all of the workstations TCP/IP protocol and IP address allocation from the GallantWEB. All Windows 95/98, 2000 or NT workstations support DHCP. After you activate the GallantWEB DHCP server, whenever a network client selects a DHCP configuration option in configuring its TCP/IP protocol and IP address, the task of allocation of IP address will be done automatically by the GallantWEB.
