DHCP is a network protocol that allows devices on a network to automatically obtain IP addresses and other network settings from a central server. The server, in this case, the ZTE ZXHN H267N router, assigns IP addresses to devices on the network for a specified period, known as a lease. This allows devices to move around the network and connect to different networks without manual configuration.
