1.What is DHCP?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: assigns IPs to the clients requested dynamically or automatically.
Open Windows Components Wizard. Under Components , scroll to and click Networking Services. Click
Details . Under Subcomponents of Networking Services , click Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and then click OK .
Click Next . If prompted, type the full path to the Windows Server 2003 distribution files, and then click
Next. Required files are copied to your hard disk.
Offers: The DHCP server offers a group of IPs to the clients to pick any
Acknowledgement: The DHCP server makes a confirmation by sending an DHCPPACK to the client.
. When prompted, type the name or IP address of the DHCP server to be authorized, and then click OK.
5.What is a Scope?
Range of IP Addresses.
6.What is DHCPINFORM ?
DHCPInform is a DHCP message used by DHCP clients to obtain DHCP options. While PPP remote access
clients do not use DHCP to obtain IP addresses for the remote access connection, Windows 2000 and
Windows 98 remote access clients use the DHCPInform message to obtain DNS server IP addresses,
WINS server IP addresses, and a DNS domain name.
The DHCPInform message is sent after the IPCP negotiation is concluded. The DHCPInform message
received by the remote access server is then forwarded to a DHCP server. The remote access server
forwards DHCPInform messages only if it has been configured with the DHCP Relay Agent.
7.What is an IP Lease?
DHCP server clients an IP to the client for a period of 8 days. This offer is called IP Lease.
Traditionally, DNS and DHCP servers have been configured and managed one at a time. Similarly,
changing authorization rights for a particular user on a group of devices has meant visiting each one and
making configuration changes.
DHCP integration with DNS allows the aggregation of these tasks across devices, enabling a company’s
network services to scale in step with the growth of network users, devices, and policies, while reducing
administrative operations and costs. This integration provides practical operational efficiencies that
lower total cost of ownership.
Creating a DHCP network automatically creates an associated DNS zone, for example, reducing the
number of tasks required of network administrators. And integration of DNS and DHCP in the same
database instance provides unmatched consistency between service and management views of IP
address-centric network services data.
8 Days.
For the situations where there is more than one LAN, each with its own subnet number, there are two
ways. First of all, you can set up a seperate server on each subnet. Secondly, a feature of some routers
known as “BOOTP forwarding” to forward DHCP or BOOTP requests to a server on another subnet and
to forward the replies back to the client. The part of such a router (or server acting as a router) that
does this is called a “BOOTP forwarding agent”. Typically you have to enable it on the interface to the
subnet to be served and have to configure it with the IP address of the DHCP or BOOTP server. On a
Cisco router, the address is known as the “UDP Helper Address”.
Enabling AD Know the availability of DHCP server Useful when we have multiple DHCP Server and you
want to you designate one particular DHCP server to be active. Then we should authorize.
13.What is IP Reservation?
14.How can I prevent unauthorized laptops from using a network that uses DHCP for dynamic
addressing?
This would have to be done using a mechanism other than DHCP. DHCP does not prevent other clients
from using the addresses it is set to hand out nor can it distinguish between a computer’s permanent
MAC address and one set by the computer’s user. DHCP can impose no restrictions on what IP address
can use a particular port nor control the IP address used by any client.
15.What is exclusion?
No, it is too tied to IP. Furthermore, they don’t need it since they have always had automated
mechanisms for assigning their own network addresses.
Yes. At least there is nothing in the protocol to preclude this and one expects it to be a feature of any
DHCP server.
This is really a server matter and the client should work either way. The RFC refers to this as manual
allocation.
DHCP server is available on another N/W and you want another N/W to obtain IPs from the DHCP
server. Then the DHCP, RA can forward the request from the clients to the DHCP server to obtain IPs for
the clients it acts like a mediator between clients and DHCP.
The DHC WG of the IETF is actively investigating the issues in inter-server communication. The protocol
should be defined “soon”.
Ans: A DHCP relay agent is any host or IP router that forwards DHCP packets between clients and
servers.
Q: Suppose we have a PC which is connected to our corporate network and unable to get ip address
and when I am using ipconfig command to check ip address so show 169.254.x.x ip address what is the
reason behind it?
Ans: It possible that DHCP down or unable to make connection between server to client.
