DHCP-Client

Event Description: Your computer was successfully assigned an address from the network, and it can now connect to other computers.

DHCP registers and updates IP addresses and DNS records for the computer.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a network protocol that clients use to automatically configure network settings so that computers can communicate over the network.

address: Internet protocol address. An address the internet protocol (IP) uses to identify computers on the network.

DNS: Domain Name system. The system that translates domain names into IP addresses.


The basic rundown for this event:

1. The client contacted a DHCP server using DHCP for a valid IP address.
2. The DHCP server received the request and returned an IP address to the client computer.
3. DHCP successfully assigned an IP address to the client computer.
