Static IP and dynamic IP are two common ways of assigning IP addresses in the network. Among them, dynamic IP is automatically assigned by the DHCP server, while static IP is set manually. So, will static IP initiate DHCP? This is a common question, let's answer it in detail below.
First, we need to understand how DHCP works. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses, which can automatically assign network parameters such as IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS servers to computers. When using DHCP, the computer will send a request to the DHCP server, and then the DHCP server will automatically assign an available IP address to the computer, and the computer can connect to the network through this IP address.
Static IP is set manually, that is, when using static IP, the computer will not send a request to the DHCP server, but manually set a fixed IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and other network parameters. Therefore, when using static IP, the computer will not initiate a DHCP request.
It should be noted that when using static IP, if the set IP address is repeated with the IP address of other computers in the network, it will cause network conflicts and affect network communication. Therefore, when setting a static IP, make sure that the IP address you set is not occupied by other computers.
Static IP and dynamic IP are two different ways of allocating IP addresses. When using a static IP, the computer will not initiate a DHCP request. When choosing which method to use, you need to choose according to the actual situation and pay attention to avoiding network conflicts.
