DHCP

 Is a protocol that allows client computers to automatically receive an IP address and


TCP/IP settings from a Server.

 Reduces the amount of time you spend configuring computers on your network

 Is the default configuration for clients.

 The ipconfig /all command will indicate whether the configuration came from a DHCP
server computer

 Manually managing IP addresses is a complex tedious task.


 The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) simplifies this process by automating
the assigning, tracking, and reassigning of IP addresses.

Four Key benefits to DHCP:


 Centralized administration of IP configuration.
 Dynamic host configuration.
 Seamless IP host configuration.
 Flexibility and scalability.

DHCP client A computer that obtains its configuration information from DHCP.
DHCP server A computer that provides DHCP configuration information to multiple clients.
The IP addresses and configuration information that the DHCP server makes available to the
client are defined by the DHCP administrator.

DHCP lease -This defines the duration for which a DHCP server assigns an IP address to a
DHCP client.

 The default lease duration is eight days.


 Maximum duration is 999 days.

DHCP Reservation
 Network administrators can use DHCP reservations for DHCP-enabled hosts that need to
have static IP addresses on your network.

DHCP Configuration Scopes


Scope defines arrange of IP addresses
Each scope is configured with:
 Description
 Starting IP address
 Ending IP address
 Subnet mask
 Exclusions
 Lease duration

Two strategies exist for defining the starting and ending IP addresses
 Allow all and exclude the few static addresses.
 Reserve arrange of address at beginning or end of range that can be used for static
addresses.
 Lease duration defines how long client computers are allowed to use an IP address
 A scope must be activated before the DHCP service can begin using it

 Reservations are used to hand out a specific IP address to a particular client

Advantages of using DHCP


To implement DHCP requires no additional costs.
 To manage IP addressing from a central location
 DHCP provides for the simple deployment of other configuration options, such as default
gateway and DNS suffix.
 It leads to less incorrect configurations of IP addresses
 Duplicated IP addresses are prevented.
 IP addresses are also preserved
 DHCP service supports clustering.
 Simple monitor the pool of available IP addresses, and also be notified when the IP
address pool reaches a certain threshold
 Dynamic IP addressing through DHCP easily scales from small to large networking
environments.

DHCP server requirements

If you are implementing only one DHCP server, you should definitely test that the DHCP
server is capable of handling the client load.
 The performance of a server can be enhanced when the server has:
 Multiple CPUs.

 Multiple network cards.

 High performance hard drives.


After the installesion of verchual box
steps to configure DHCP by the guidance of the above
requirement
After completing this step
go to the client computer connect to the server computer by cable
first open -> All program -> cmd ->ipconfig
so by this command we can test the configuration
