Installing DHCP Service

1.Log-on to W2K801 2.Open the network connection NIC1 and set it to use the Instructor01 machine as a DNS name server. 3.Join W2K801 to the lucernepublishing.com. 4.Restart W2K801 and log on again. 5.Using the Server Manger - roles 6.Select and add the DHCP server role. A.When the installation wizard executes what is the first screen that appears.

1.Network connection bindings Default A. Explain why a static IP address is detected.

B.Servers should be configured with a static IP address, why?

1.Configure the DHCP with the following: IPv4 DNS Server Setting 192.168.1.1 IPv4WINS Server Setting Default 1.Add a Scope with the following conditions: Name: MYDHCP Start IP address: 192.168.1.25 Ending IP address: 192.168.1.50 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 Subnet type: Wired 1.Ensure activate scope is checked. 2.Disable IPv6. 3.Attempt to authorise the DHCP service. A.What is the purpose of Authorising and what account can authorise a DHCP server?

1.In server manager, under Roles click DHCP. 2.Stop the DHCP service. RB/SRM v1.2 09/2010 - Page 2 of 5

Functionality
1.Start the virtual machine Windows7 User name :student Password: password A.Record the IP Address of this client. How did you achieve this? (hint: think back to year 1!)

1.What type of address is this and where has it been allocated from?

2.Try to obtain a new IP address. A.How do you do this? What is your client IP address? Is this IP from MYDHCP?

1.Start the DHCP server service and try again to obtain an IP address. A.What is the address now?

NOTE: There will be a quiz next week so make sure you understand this material! Ask now if you do not!

1.Test this by renewing the IP address on your client. A.What does exclusion do?

1.Configure 192.168.1.30 to always be assigned to your client and not another. 2.Test this by renewing the IP address on your client. A.What did you configure?

Review Questions
1.Name three methods that can be used to assign IP addresses on a TCP/IP-based network.

2.You have installed the DHCP Server service on a computer running Windows Server 2008. You configure the scope options and activate the scope; how-ever, clients still are receiving a 169.254.x.x IP address. What should you do?

3.You have configured a DHCP scope with an address range of 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.254. You have several servers and printers that use the static IP address range of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.20. With the least amount of administrative effort, how can you prevent duplicate IP addressing?

4.You currently use a DHCP server on your network. It assigns a default gateway scope option to clients. You replace the existing default gateway with a new router that has a different IP address and find that clients cannot connect to the Internet using the new router. What should you do?

5.You have installed and configured a DHCP server on your network. You also have a Web server on the same network. The Web server requires the same IP address as the DHCP server. What should you do?

6.Describe one of disadvantages of using a DHCP over static IP addresses
