Range

Description: The range in the context of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) refers to the set of IP addresses that a DHCP server can assign to clients on a network. This range is crucial for the efficient management of IP addresses, as it allows devices connected to the network to automatically obtain a valid IP address without the need for manual configuration. The range is defined within a specific subnet and can vary in size depending on the number of devices expected to connect. For example, an IP address range could be from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200, meaning the DHCP server can assign any IP address within that range to requesting devices. Proper configuration of the range is essential to avoid IP conflicts and ensure that all devices on the network can communicate effectively. Additionally, the range can be adjusted according to the needs of the network, allowing for greater flexibility in IP address management.
