DHCP is a protocol used to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on a
network as requested. With dynamic addressing, a device is assigned the

Dynamic IP
The term used to describe how IP address is dynamically assigned to
computers as and when needed. Unlike Static IP addresses, the IP address is
temporary, and it changes every time you connect to your ISP.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing uses a routing protocol to exchange routing information

respond to changes in the status or traffic on the network, re-routing traffic
as required.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC,
Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical
bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard
provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer
and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin
coax, and twisted-pair cable.
