CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to assign IP addresses to devices on a network automatically. When a device connects to a network, it sends a request to the DHCP server, which then leases an IP address to the device. This protocol simplifies network management by eliminating the need for manual IP configuration. SNMP is used for managing and monitoring network devices but is not responsible for IP assignment. IMAP is used to retrieve emails from a server and also doesn't handle IP addressing. RDP allows remote connection to another computer but does not relate to assigning IP addresses.
