DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):

- It minimize the administrative burden
- It By using DHCP there is no chance to conflict ip address.
- Support multiple scope like Unicast,multicast and superscope.
- Using as a relay agent you can provide iP address to another network.
- It is less Seure
- Uses First time broadcast in order to give IP address to the client
Static
