Explain me the Advantages and Disadvantages of DHCP? Harrison 27-September-2007 07:09:36 PMComments sorry Posted by waqasahmad http://www.geekinterview.com/question_details/31556 Posted by Hash007 Advantages All the IP configuration information gets automatically configured for your client machine by the DHCP server. If you move your client machine to a different subnet, the client will send out its discover message at boot time and work as usual. However, when you first boot up there you will not be able to get back the IP address you had at your previous location regardless of how little time has passed. Disadvantage Your machine name does not change when you get a new IP address. The DNS (Domain Name System) name is associated with your IP address and therefore does change. This only presents a problem if other clients try to access your machine by its DNS name. Posted by jaren |
