DHCP
Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and operates on consumer routers. This is a server protocol.
Automatically assigns IP addresses and network configuration settings to devices when they connect to a network.
Saves you from manually configuring each device on the network. Dynamically distributes:
- IP addresses
- Subnet masks
- Default gateway addresses
- DNS server addresses
Why was this pertinent to the configuration of my Pihole? DHCP on my router will chose the default DNS server. I wanted to change the default DNS server to use the address of the Pihole on the network. This change has to be made in the DHCP settings.
