WHAT is a DHCP server :
In a network, a DHCP server manages a pool of IP addresses, as well as default gateway details, DNS details and other information for the clients’ network configuration. When a new computer is introduced into a DHCP server-enabled network, it will send a query to the DHCP server requesting all the necessary information. When the query reaches the DHCP server, it will grant the new computer a new IP address and a lease - a time frame for which the computer can use this IP address, as well as other configuration details. The whole process takes place immediately after the new computer boots, and to be successful, it has to be completed before initiating IP based communication with other hosts in the network.
