Description

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address, etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it easier to administer a large network. The dhcpcd package includes a DHCP client daemon. If you're going to use DHCP on your network, you'll need to install the server package (dhcp) on the server, and a client package on the client machines. The dhcpcd package includes a DHCP client, but we suggest that you instead install the DHCP client included in the pump package, which provides a faster and simpler DHCP client.
