What is the difference between a DHCP client and a DHCP server?

What will be an ideal response?


DHCP works very simply. Any network using DHCP consists of a DHCP server and lots of DHCP clients. Clients request IP information from DHCP servers. DHCP servers in turn pass out IP information to the clients. In most networks, most hosts-desktops, laptops, and mobile devices-are DHCP clients. Most networks have a single DHCP server that often is built into a router for small office/home office (SOHO) networks or runs on a server in enterprise networks.
