DHCP can become a single point of failure within a network if there is only one DHCP server. If that server becomes unavailable, clients will not be able to obtain new leases or renew existing leases. For this reason, you should have more than one DHCP server in the network. However, more than one DHCP […]

Multicasting occurs when one machine communicates to a network of subscribed computers rather than specifically addressing each computer on the destination network. It’s much more efficient to multicast a video or audio stream to multiple destinations than it is to unicast it to the same number of clients, and the increased demand for multicast-f riendly […]

You can use the DHCP snap- in to assign options at the scope, server, reserved address, or class level. The mechanism you use to assign these options is the same for each; the only difference is where you set the options. When you create an option assignment, remember that it applies to all the clients […]

The IPv6 Properties dialog box for the server has two tabs: General and Advanced. On the General tab, you can configure the following settings: ■ Frequency with which statistics are updated ■ DHCP auditing The Advanced tab allows you to configure the following settings: ■ Database path for the audit log file […]

Now that you’ve seen how to create a new scope in IPv4, I’ll go through the steps to create a new scope in IPv6. To create a scope, right- click the IPv6 option in the DHCP snap- in under the server name and select the Action ➢ New Scope command. This starts the New Scope […]

The first option configuration page is the Router (Default Gateway) page (see Figure 6.10), in which you enter the IP addresses of one or more routers (more commonly referred to as default gateways) that you want to use for outbound traffic. After entering the IP addresses of the routers, use the Up and Down buttons […]

You can use any number of DHCP servers on a single physical network if you divide the range of addresses that you want assigned into multiple scopes. Each scope contains a number of useful pieces of data, but before you can understand them, you need to know some additional terminology. You can perform the following […]

Installing DHCP is easy using the Windows Server 2022/2012 R2 installation mechanism. Unlike some other services discussed in this book, the installation process installs just the service and its associated snap- in, starting it when the installation is complete. At that point, it’s not delivering any DHCP service, but you don’t have to reboot. Installing […]

The following are advantages of DHCP: ■ Configuration of large and even midsized networks is much simpler. If a DNS server address or some other change is necessary to the client, you don’t have to touch each device in the network physically to reconfigure it with the new settings. ■ Once you enter […]

When you’re setting up a network, the computers need to communicate with each other using the same type of computer language. This is referred to as a protocol. TCP/IP is the priority protocol for Windows Server 2022. For all of your machines to work using TCP/ IP, each system must have its own unique IP […]
