10. To test the configuration and verify that LON‐CL1 has received an IP address
from the DHCP scope, at a command prompt, type the following, and then press
Enter:

ipconfig /all

Note: This command returns information such as IP address, subnet

mask, and DHCP enabled status, which should be Yes.

Task 4: Configure a lease as a reservation

1. In the Command Prompt window, at a command prompt, type the following,

and then press Enter:

ipconfig /all

2. Write down the Physical Address of LON‐CL1 network adapter.

3. Switch to LON‐SVR1.

4. In the Server Manager dashboard, click Tools, and then click DHCP.

 • Click Add, and then click Close.

7. Switch to LON‐CL1.

8. In the Command Prompt window, at a command prompt, type the following,

and then press Enter:

ipconfig /release

This causes LON‐CL1 to release any currently leased IP addresses.

9. At a command prompt, type the following, and then press Enter:

ipconfig /renew

This causes LON‐CL1 to lease any reserved IP addresses.

10. Verify that the IP address of LON‐CL1 is now 172.16.0.155.

Results: After completing this exercise, you should have implemented DHCP,
configured DHCP scope and options, and configured a DHCP reservation.

Note: The IP address should be in the following range: 10.10.0.100/16

to 10.10.0.200/16.

Results: After completing this exercise, you should have implemented a DHCP
relay agent.

Prepare for the next module

After you finish the lab, revert the virtual machines back to their initial state. To do
