Summary     : A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server and relay 
agent.                                                                     t.
Description :
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network
configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,
etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it
easier to administer a large network. The dhcp package includes the
DHCP server and a DHCP relay agent.

You should install dhcp if you want to set up a DHCP server on your
network. You must also install the dhclient package, which provides the
DHCP client, on machines that will obtain their IP address via DHCP.
