Open DHCP Server is a free software for Windows that allows managing the distribution of IP addresses in local networks (LAN). It functions as a DHCP server, automatically assigning IPs, subnet masks, gateways, and DNS servers to computers and devices connected to the network.
The program is configurable and allows creating multiple ranges of IP addresses, setting reservations for specific devices, and applying advanced options such as IP lease time and multiple subnet configuration. It also provides detailed logs and assignment statistics, making network monitoring easier.
Open DHCP Server is useful for administrators of small and medium networks who need to control the allocation of IP addresses in a practical way, without relying exclusively on routers or more complex servers. The software is lightweight and can run in the background, ensuring continuous operation without interfering with the machine's performance.
