Answer / dilip.varma
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a computer
networking protocol used by hosts (DHCP clients) to retrieve
IP address assignments and other configuration information.
DHCP Process fall into four basic phases:
IP discovery
IP lease offer
IP request and
IP lease acknowledgement.
Protocol and Port
DHCP uses the same two ports assigned by IANA for BOOTP:
67/udp for sending data to the server, and 68/udp for data
to the client.

Answer / varma
DHCP is an extension of an earlier network IP management
protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). DHCP is a more
advanced protocol, but both configuration management
protocols are commonly used and DHCP can handle BOOTP client
requests. Some organizations use both protocols, but
understanding how and when to use them in the same
organization is important. Some operating systems, including
Windows NT/2000, come with DHCP servers. A DHCP or BOOTP
client is a program that is located in (and perhaps
downloaded to) each computer so that it can be configured.
