Study Notes

DHCP Server and Client Configuration

The topology consists of a Windows server as the DHCP server and a Windows 10 computer as the DHCP client.
The Windows server has an IP address of 10.1.0.100 and DHCP services are enabled on the device.

Configuring DHCP on the Windows Server

The DHCP management software can be accessed through the Local Server or the Tools menu.
The DHCP scope range is 10.1.0.61 to 10.1.0.99, and current leases can be viewed under Address Leases.
Reservations for individual devices can be made by specifying the IP address, name, and MAC address of the device.

Creating a Reservation for the Windows 10 Client

The MAC address of the Windows 10 client is 00:0c:29:6e:be:bb, which is used to create a reservation on the DHCP server.
The reservation is created with an IP address of 10.1.0.77 and the MAC address of the client.

Configuring the Windows 10 Client as a DHCP Client

The Windows 10 client is configured as a DHCP client by going to the Properties of the network interface and selecting Internet Protocol Version 4.
The client is set to obtain an IP address automatically, which allows it to receive an IP address from the DHCP server.

DHCP Exchange between Client and Server

The DHCP client sends a Discover message to the DHCP server, which responds with an Offer message containing the IP address 10.1.0.77.
The client accepts the offer and sends a Request message, and the server responds with an Acknowledgment message confirming the details.

Verifying the DHCP Configuration

The DHCP configuration can be verified by checking the IP address of the client, which should match the reserved IP address.
Wireshark can be used to capture and analyze the DHCP traffic between the client and server.

Additional DHCP Options

The DHCP server can be configured to hand out additional options, such as the default gateway, DNS server, and domain name.
These options can be viewed in the Acknowledgment message sent by the DHCP server to the client.
