Q

How Windows gets an IP address

A
  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
    – Automatic IP addressing
    – This is the default
  • APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing)
    – There’s no static address or DHCP server
    – Communicate locally (link-local address)
    – Assigns 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255
    – No Internet connectivity
  • Static address
    – Assign all IP address parameters manually
    – You need to know very specific details

    Subnet mask – Identifies the subnet
    Gateway – The route off the subnet to the rest of the world
  • DNS – Domain Name Services
    – Converts domain names to IP addresses

Q

A backup for the DHCP server

A
  • Multiple DHCP servers should be installed
    for redundancy
    – There will always be one available
  • If a DHCP server isn’t available, Windows uses the
    Alternate Configuration
    – The default is APIPA addressing
  • You can also configure a static IP address
    – Keep working normally
