Exploring DHCP

Understanding how DHCP works is an important part of a network administrator’s list of skills. In today’s networks, the DHCP service is used by workstations, some servers, Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) network boot clients, printers, mobile devices such as a smartphone or tablet, IP-based phones and data scanners. Some Windows Server 2012 services, such as the Windows Deployment Server role services interact and depend on DHCP to properly function.
