Which protocol is used to give IP addresses to devices?

Correct answer: DHCP. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.

Background: DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

• ISP: An ISP provides internet access.
• ICANN: ICANN manages domain names and IP address allocation worldwide.
• DNS: DNS converts domain names to IP addresses.

Did you know? A home router usually acts as the DHCP server.

Memory trick: DHCP = Dynamic IP.
