014.01.46.1. What are some of the assumptions on which DHCP relies for its effective functioning, and how do these assumptions impact its reliability in network configurations?
DHCP relies on certain assumptions for effective functioning, including the availability of a DHCP server, correct implementation and stability of the server, and its ability to track and maintain leases. While these assumptions generally hold true, DHCP works acceptably well in practice, minimizing the impact of any potential issues arising from these assumptions.
