Disadvantages of DHCP
- IP conflict can occur.
- The problem with DHCP is that clients accept any server. Accordingly, when another server is in the vicinity, the client may connect with this server, and this server may possibly send invalid data to the client.
- The client is not able to access the network in absence of a DHCP Server.
- The name of the machine will not be changed in a case when a new IP Address is assigned.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a network protocol used to automate the process of assigning IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices (such as computers, smartphones, and printers) on a network.
