Lesson 19: Understanding DHCP Flashcards
Learn the function of DHCP; Use the Server App to configure and manage the DHCP service; Understand static addresses; Identify current clients of OS X Server DHCP services; Display the log files for the DHCP service
If a host computer or device is on an active network with other clients receiving DHCP addresses, why might this specific computer or device not get an IPv4 address?
If other computers and devices on a given network are able to secure DHCP addresses, it is likely that the server has run out of DHCP leases.
How can you determine whether a host has a routable IPv4 address or a link-local address?
Because a link-local address must fall in the 169.254.x.x range, checking the current IPv4 address of the client will provide the answer.
Before you can statically map an IPv4 address to a specific client, what must you know about that client before you can create a static address for that client?
You must know the MAC address of the client; if the client already has a DHCP lease, simply create a static address from that client’s entry in the Clients pane.
Where would you find log entries related only to the DHCP service?
You would find log entries only related to the DHCP service in the Server app’s Logs pane, in the Service Log under the DHCP section.
