What is the primary purpose of DHCP in a network environment?
Encrypts data traffic at the transport layer
Provides a secure channel for remote administration
Automates the assignment of IP addresses and other network settings to devices on a network
Resolves domain names to IP addresses
DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automates the assignment of IP addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and other network settings. This automation simplifies the management of IP address allocation, reduces configuration errors, and supports the easy addition of new devices to the network without the need for manual IP configuration. The other options are incorrect. Resolving domain names to IP addresses is the primary function of DNS. Encrypting data traffic at the transport layer is a function of protocols like TLS. Providing a secure channel for remote administration is a function of protocols like SSH.
