Which protocol is used by devices on a network to automatically find and assign IP addresses and other network configuration details from a centralized management server when connecting to a network?
DHCP
APIPA
NTP
DNS
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by devices to automatically discover and assign IP network configurations. This simplifies network management as it removes the need for manually assigning IP addresses to every device on the network. DHCP operates based on a client-server model where a DHCP server dynamically distributes network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, for interfaces and services. DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses, NTP synchronizes time, and APIPA is a fallback mechanism used to self-assign an IP address when a DHCP server is not available.
