(ITI310) By Eng. BASSEM ALSAID SESSIONS 9: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

“Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)” objectives in this session: -Installing the DHCP Server Role. -Authorizing DHCP Servers in Active Directory. -Understanding DHCP Scope Types. -Configuring IPv4 Scopes Using the DHCP Console. -Configuring DHCP Reservations.

“Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)” The purpose of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is to provide TCP/IP configuration information to clients. A DHCP server within a Windows Server 2008 domain will typically provide the following information to clients: IP address Subnet mask Default gateway DNS domain name Address of DNS server Address of WINS server And possibly more information.

Practice I: Installing DHCP

DHCP Scope Types DHCP scopes are used to define ranges of addresses from which a DHCP server can assign IP addresses to clients. Scopes fall into Normal, Multicast and Super Scope categories as follows: Normal Scope - Allows A, B and C Class IP address ranges to be specified including subnet masks, exclusions and reservations. Multicast Scope - Used to assign IP address ranges for Class D networks. Multicast scopes do not have subnet masks, reservation or other TCP/IP options. Multicast scope address ranges require that a Time To Live (TTL) value be specified (essentially the number of routers a packet can pass through on the way to its destination). Super Scope - Essentially a collection of scopes grouped together such that they can be enabled and disabled as a single entity.

CLASS D networks Class D: to The IPv4 networking standard defines Class D addresses as reserved for multicast. Multicast is a mechanism for defining groups of nodes and sending IP messages to that group rather than to every node on the LAN (broadcast) or just one other node (unicast).

Practice II: Creating a DHCP Scope

DHCP Reservation DHCP reservations provide a mechanism by which IP addresses may be permanently assigned to a specific client based on the MAC address of that client.

DHCP Management When planning for the management of DHCP, you need to consider two built-in groups. Both groups are in the Users container within Active Directory Users and Computers. They are as follows: DHCP Administrators: Users in the DHCP Administrators group can fully administer DHCP with one exception. DHCP Administrators cannot authorize a DHCP server. DHCP administrators can create and modify scopes, add and modify options, add scope options, and add and modify reservations. If an administrator is assigned responsibility for a DHCP, he should be added to the DHCP Administrators group. DHCP Users: The DHCP Users group can view but not modify settings and information within the DHCP console.

You have a Windows Server 2008 Core loaded on a server. You just installed DHCP on the server. How do you configure the DHCP scopes? A. Run the script dhcp.wsf. B. Modify the C:\windows\system32\etc\hosts file with Notepad. C. Connect to the DHCP server with a DHCP MMC console that connects to the DHCP server. D. You don’t need to configure DHCP because it is self configuring. EXERCISE I
