DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites using easy-to-remember names instead of numerical IP addresses. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network, enabling them to communicate efficiently.
DNS (Domain Name System) converts domain names into corresponding IP addresses, which are used by devices to locate and communicate with each other on the internet. This process allows users to enter familiar web addresses instead of complex numerical addresses.
The difference between DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and dynamic DNS lies in their functions. DHCP automatically assigns and manages IP addresses for devices on a network, ensuring that each device has a unique IP address. Dynamic DNS updates the DNS records automatically when a device’s IP address changes, allowing the device to maintain a consistent domain name even if its IP address is dynamically assigned.
