Module 7 Flashcards
Flashcard question: What is DHCP?
Flashcard answer: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol used to assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network.
Flashcard question: What does DHCP do?
Flashcard answer: DHCP allows devices to obtain necessary networking information automatically, eliminating the need for manual configuration of each device.
Flashcard question: What are the benefits of using DHCP?
Flashcard answer: DHCP reduces the workload of network administrators by automatically assigning IP addresses and other network configurations, and ensures that all devices on the network have unique and valid IP addresses.
Flashcard question: How does DHCP work?
Flashcard answer: DHCP works by having a DHCP server on the network assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices that request them.
Flashcard question: What is lease generation?
Flashcard answer: Lease generation refers to the process of the DHCP server assigning an IP address to a device and a lease time, which is the length of time the device can use the assigned IP address.
Flashcard question: What is lease renewal?
Flashcard answer: Lease renewal refers to the process of a device renewing its DHCP lease before it expires by sending a DHCP request to the DHCP server, asking to renew its current IP address assignment.
Flashcard question: Why DHCP uses Lease time?
Flashcard answer: DHCP uses Lease time to ensure that IP addresses are used efficiently and to prevent IP address conflicts on the network.
Flashcard question: How to implement DHCP in Windows Server?
Flashcard answer: To implement DHCP in Windows Server, install the DHCP Server role, authorize the DHCP server, configure DHCP scopes, create DHCP reservations, and configure DHCP options.
Flashcard question: What are DHCP Scopes?
Flashcard answer: DHCP Scopes are a range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to clients. It defines the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to clients and also the lease time. It helps in managing IP addresses based on location or department.
Flashcard question: Why DHCP Scopes are important?
Flashcard answer: DHCP Scopes are important because they define the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to clients, and also the lease time, which helps in managing IP addresses efficiently and preventing IP conflicts on the network.
Flashcard question: What is the usual DHCP scope range?
Flashcard answer: The usual DHCP scope range is typically defined as a range of IP addresses within the private IP address space, such as 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
Flashcard question: What is the purpose of using private IP address ranges for DHCP scope?
Flashcard answer: Private IP address ranges are used for DHCP scope because they are set aside by the IANA for use on private networks and are not routable on the Internet.
Flashcard question: How big the DHCP scope should be depends on?
Flashcard answer: How big the DHCP scope should be depends on the size of the organization and the number of clients that will be connecting to the network.
Flashcard question: Can DHCP scope range be confined to a single subnet?
Flashcard answer: No, DHCP scope range is not always confined to a single subnet and it can be extended to multiple subnets.
Flashcard question: How to configure DHCP in Windows Server?
Flashcard answer: To configure DHCP in Windows Server, install the DHCP Server role, open the DHCP console, right-click the server name and select “New Scope”, provide a name and description, specify the IP address range, add exclusions if desired, set the lease duration, and configure DHCP options such as default gateway, DNS servers and WINS servers.
Flashcard question: What is the DHCP console in Windows Server?
Flashcard answer: The DHCP console is a management tool in Windows Server that allows administrators to create and configure DHCP scopes, DHCP reservations, and DHCP options on the DHCP server. It can be accessed by searching for it in the start menu or by running “dhcpmgmt.msc” command in the command prompt.
