Unit VIII: Setting up DHCP and NIS | BCA 7th Semester Linux Operating System Notes Pdf

DHCP stands for dynamic host configuration protocol. What it does is dynamically assign network settings from a server. In other words, instead of having to configure the parameters related to how our computer communicates with a network, it happens automatically.

Network Information Service (NIS) was created by Sun Microsystems as a way of managing information that is shared among a group of host computers on a network. Using NIS, computers can share a common set of user accounts, user groups, and TCP/IP host names, as well as other information.
