To configure Cisco Router as a DHCP server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol and service use for dynamic IP addressing. It can assign IP address on the temporary basis, by default for 8 days in wired network. DHCP server will not only assign IP address but also re-allocate the computers and make the connectivity faster, it also make complete configuration of TCP/IP. DHCP is based on BOOTP (Boot Strap Protocol) and can be use on Internet.
IP is a protocol
IP Address is logical address or numerical identification of a computer
IP Addressing is the way to assign IP address.
We have different options for dynamic IP addressing like DHCP, VPN, ICS, Proxy Server, APIPA etc.
APIPA(Automatic Private IP Addressing)  It is default service in all OS , it is part of OS configuration or registry, it can be use within LAN, network ID is always 169.254.0.0 (or 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) and it is slow.
