Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which protocol is primarily used for dynamic IP address allocation?
  • Step 1: Understand what an IP address is. It is a unique number assigned to each device on a network.
  • Step 2: Know that devices can have either a static IP address (fixed) or a dynamic IP address (changes over time).
  • Step 3: Learn that dynamic IP addresses are assigned automatically, rather than manually.
  • Step 4: Identify the protocol that manages this automatic assignment of IP addresses.
  • Step 5: Recognize that the protocol used for this purpose is called DHCP, which stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
