| Overview |
| ******** |
| |
| The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol |
| used on IPv4 networks. A DHCPv4 server dynamically assigns an IPv4 address |
| and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they |
| can communicate with other IP networks. |
| See this |
| `DHCP Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol>`_ |
| for a detailed overview of how DHCP works. |
| |
| Note that Zephyr only supports DHCP client functionality. |
