Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the server role specifically designed to automatically and dynamically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network configuration parameters to client devices. RAS (Remote Access Service) provides remote connectivity such as dial-up or VPN. DNS (Domain Name System) resolves hostnames to IP addresses but does not assign them. WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses. None of these alternatives dynamically assign IP addresses the way DHCP does.
