Answer / varma
DHCP is an extension of an earlier network IP management
protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). DHCP is a more
advanced protocol, but both configuration management
protocols are commonly used and DHCP can handle BOOTP client
requests. Some organizations use both protocols, but
understanding how and when to use them in the same
organization is important. Some operating systems, including
Windows NT/2000, come with DHCP servers. A DHCP or BOOTP
client is a program that is located in (and perhaps
downloaded to) each computer so that it can be configured.
