addresses automatically. Why might this be useful to a network administrator?

However, DHCP is rarely used to assign addresses for servers. Why?

a. DHCP is too expensive.

b. DHCP is not scalable enough.

c. Servers are frequently moved around, whereas workstations are not.

d. Workstations are frequently moved around, whereas servers are not.
