1.Managing IP address -- In a network without DHCP, you must manually assign IP addresses.
If a client moves to a different network, you must make manual modifications for that client. When DHCP is enabled, the DHCP server manages and assigns IP addresses without administrator intervention. Clients can move to other subnets without manual reconfiguration because they obtain, from a DHCP server, new client information appropriate for the new network.

2.Huge Network support

3.Most routers can forward DHCP configuration requests, eliminating the requirement of setting up a DHCP server on every subnet, unless there is another reason to do so.

4.Network administrators can automate and control from a central position the assignment of IP address configurations using the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP).

Here assumption is PGW serves both the APN and UE will get IP addresses for both the default bearers using the DHCP server.
I am not sure, DHCP messages for both the PDNs will be transmitted using the first default bearer or DHCP messages for each PDN will use its associated default bearer.
Case 1 :
IP addresses for both the APN assigned by same DHCP server

Case 2:
IP address for each APN assigned by different DHCP server.

In both the cases, I want to know how PGW will deal with DHCP message and also on what basis a particular IP will be associated with a default bearer at UE if its uses same default bearer for the DHCP message exchange.
