Cisco Confidential 7  Manual Addressing (static):  Static IP Addresses are typically assigned to routers, servers, and network printers.  Enables remote administration.  Dynamic Address (using DHCP):  Automates assignment of IP address configuration.  Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned to PC’s, laptops, and other mobile devices.  Facilitates movement of portable devices on the network.  Reduces administrative burden on network staff and virtually eliminates entry errors.  DHCP can be used to allocate IPv4 as well as IPv6 addresses.

Cisco Confidential 9  A DHCP server typically provides DHCP clients with:  IP Address; Subnet Mask; Default Gateway; DNS server(s); & Lease Time.  Benefits of a Network Server providing DHCP:  More scalable than other solutions.  Offloads DHCP function from network devices.  Relatively easy to manage.  Benefits of a Router providing DHCP:  Simple solution for small branch office or wireless home network.  Less costly because a dedicated DHCP server is not required.  Cisco IOS provides a DHCP server in routers and multilayer switches.
