Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns valid IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS server addresses to devices on a network. When a device has an invalid static IP, configuring it to use DHCP allows it to request a valid IP configuration from the DHCP server automatically, resolving the connectivity issue. SSH is a remote access protocol, FTP is a file transfer protocol, and DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses - none of these assign IP addresses.
