What information is stored on a DHCP server?

A DHCP server primarily stores a pool of available IP addresses that it can dynamically assign to client devices on a network. This ensures efficient IP address management and prevents conflicts. It also stores lease times for these assignments and can maintain reservations for specific MAC addresses. Public IP addresses and associated hostnames are typically managed by DNS servers, not DHCP. Domain user credentials are handled by authentication services like Active Directory or RADIUS. While DHCP can reserve IP addresses for specific MAC addresses, it doesn't store a general list of all statically assigned MAC addresses; static assignments are usually configured directly on the devices or in network documentation.
