Explanation
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol/service responsible for automatically assigning IP addresses to clients from a defined pool. When a device joins a network, it broadcasts a DHCP Discover message; the DHCP server responds with an available IP address lease. The other options serve different purposes: RADIUS handles network access authentication and authorization; DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses; IDS (Intrusion Detection System) monitors network traffic for suspicious activity.
