15) DHCP Server Configuration
What is DHCP?
A DHCP Server is a network server that automatically provides and assigns IP addresses, default gateways and other network parameters to client devices
4 steps of DHCP server
Discover – Client broadcasts a message to discover a DHCP server.
Offer – DHCP servers offer an IP address.
Request – Client selects an offer and formally requests to use the IP.
Acknowledge – The Server formally allocates the IP (and options) to the client.
What is my DHCP scope?
A scope is a consecutive range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can draw on to fulfill an IP address request from a DHCP client. By defining one or more scopes on your DHCP server, the server can manage the distribution and assignment of IP addresses to DHCP clients.
