Explanation

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically assigns TCP/IP configuration details such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server to devices on a network. This simplifies network management by eliminating the need for manual configuration. Protocols like DNS, NetBIOS, and NetLink serve different purposes and do not handle IP address assignment.
