What is the function of DHCP in IP addressing?
DHCP assigns IP addresses dynamically to devices on a network.
DHCP manages DNS settings for devices.
DHCP is used for network security and encryption.
DHCP provides static IP addresses to devices.
What is the difference between static and dynamic IP addressing?
Static IP addresses are assigned by the user, while dynamic IP addresses are assigned by the ISP.
