IP address. It maps Internet domain names to dynamic IP addresses.

the DHCP server, on a network dynamically assign temporary IP addresses to the
other devices on the network. These other devices are typically computers. This
eliminates the need to manually assign Static or permanent IP addresses.
DMZ
Demilitarized Zone. DMZ is a computer that is located between a trusted internal
network such as a secure LAN and an untrusted external network, such as the
public Internet. Typically, the DMZ removes the firewall protection and allows the
computer to have unrestricted access to the Internet. Removing the firewall
protection also allows the computer to be visible to and accessed by other devices
on the Internet.
