- Topics Mentioned - CompTIA Network+ In this free CompTIA
Network+ training video, I’ll define basic DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) servers and DNS (Domain Name System)
servers. I’ll also explain where you might find a basic DHCP
server and why they are described as “basic” DHCP servers rather
than simply DHCP servers. Finally, I’ll explain what a DNS
server is, where they are used, and the differences between DNS
servers and extensive DNS servers. As you’ll learn in the video
above, a basic DHCP server is a TCP/IP service used to
dynamically assign IP addresses to a network, while a DNS server
is a TCP/IP service used to resolve host names to IP addresses.
Thanks for watching!
