Unit 4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) WELL ANSWERED ALREADY PASSED

Unit 4 Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)

intro - correct answer ✔✔- designed to reduce configuration time for TCP/IP networks

- automatically assigns IP addresses to clients during the log on process

- has a pool of IP addresses (known as a scope) that is distributed to clients



DHCP scope - correct answer ✔✔- a range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can lease out to DHCP
clients

- leased for a specific Time to Live (TTL)

- DHCP servers do not share scope information

- set aside static IP addresses for use by printers or servers

- each scope must be unique



DHCP Scope Guidelines - correct answer ✔✔- if your network has more than one DHCP server

> be sure that their DHCP scopes do not overlap

- assign DHCP options to the DHCP server if clients need them

- assign static IP addresses to non-DHCP clients

- assign static IP addresses to all servers on your network

- configure DHCP relay agents if one DHCP server must serve hosts on several subnets



requirements for setting up a scope - correct answer ✔✔- name of the scope

- description of the scope (optional)

- starting (network number) and ending IP addresses (broadcast) of the scope

- subnet mask for the scope to be assigned

- starting and ending IP addresses to be excluded from the scope

> stops DHCP from leasing out the IP address of static IP addresses

- lease duration
