DHCP and DNS

DHCP - responds to requests from clients giving them unique IP address, subnet, gateaway, DNS server which are valide for a pecified period of time (TTL).
Having DHCP server to automatically configure machines in the network takes off the responsibilite of admins to configure each machine.

DNS - returns to client (like browser) the IP that corresponds to a given domain name.
