Study Notes
DHCP Server Configuration
- IP Address Range: DHCP servers require a defined IP address range and subnet mask.
- Lease Duration: Configure how long a workstation can hold an IP address.
- DNS Server: Configure DNS server IP addresses for client devices.
- Default Gateway: Configure default gateway IP address for client devices.
- Voice over IP (VoIP): Configure VoIP server IP addresses, if applicable.
DHCP Address Assignment
- Address Pool: DHCP servers choose available IP addresses from pre-configured pools.
- Subnet Pools: Usually a contiguous range of IP addresses for efficient assignment.
- DHCP Reservations: Allow for specific devices to always receive the same IP address.
- IP Address Exclusion: Exclude specific IP addresses from the pool.
- Address Leases: Track previously assigned IP addresses and their status.
DHCP Server Example (Windows Server)
- Scope: 165.245.44.0 (defines the network range).
- Address Pools: Specific IP address ranges within the scope.
- Address Leases: Track IP address assignments.
- IP Reservations: Pre-define specific IP addresses for specific devices.
- Scope Options: Allow for additional parameters like VoIP server IP addresses.
DHCP Server Example (Embedded Router)
- Start Address: Defines first available IP address in the pool (e.g., 10.10.10.2).
- End Address: Specifies the last available IP address in the pool (e.g., 10.10.10.100).
- Lease Time: Specified in seconds (e.g., 86,400 seconds = 24 hours).
- Gateway: Specifies the router’s IP address (default gateway, e.g., 10.10.10.1).
- DNS Servers: Configures DNS servers that client devices will use.
DHCP Address Assignment Types
- Dynamic Assignment: Temporary IP address assignment from the pool.
- Automatic Assignment: DHCP servers may remember previously connected devices and reassign the same IP address if available.
- DHCP Reservations (Static Assignments): Assign a specific IP address to a specific, known device (linked to MAC address).
DHCP Lease Management
- Lease Expiration: IP addresses become available to other devices after the lease expires.
- Lease Time Configuration: Administrators set lease times (e.g., 24 hours).
- Reallocation (Renew): Re-assign existing DHCP leased IP address after a reboot, or rejoin the network.
- Manual Release: Manually release an IP address back to the DHCP server.
DHCP Lease Timers
- T1 Timer: Checks in with the DHCP server halfway through the lease. Triggers IP renewal process.
- T2 Timer: Re-binding attempt; Tries to find an alternative DHCP server if the initial one is unavailable.
Visual Example of DHCP Lease Process
- Lease Time: The total time the IP address is assigned (e.g., 8 days).
- T1 Timer: Checks in after 50% of the lease time (e.g., 4 days).
- T2 Timer: Renewal attempt after 87.5% of the lease time (e.g., 7 days).
- Renewal Process.
- Redundant DHCP Server (Backup).
