Installing the DHCP Server Service and Configuring a DHCP Scope

In most networks, clients obtain TCP/IP information from a DHCP server. Therefore,
most network administrators are required to both install and manage a DHCP server.

In this task, you walk through the steps involved in installing DHCP server software on a
Windows Server 2003 system. You also configure and activate DHCP scopes.

1. Select Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs. The Add or Remove Programs
dialog box appears.

2. In the left column of the dialog, click Add/Remove Windows Components. The
Windows Components Wizard dialog box, shown below

3. Scroll down in the Components area of the dialog until you reach the Networking
Services entry. Highlight the entry, and click the Details button. The Networking
Services dialog, shown below.

4. From the Networking Services dialog box, it is possible to install a number of


Windows 2000 network services. Select the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
option and click OK. You are returned to the Windows Component Wizard dialog.
Click Next, and the DHCP server software is installed.

5. If your system is already configured to use DHCP for example, if you use a DHCP
address from your ISP you need to enter a static IP address. For this exercise, you can
use one of the private IP addresses discussed in this chapter. An example is
192.168.1.150.

6. After the DHCP server software is installed, the Completing the Windows
Component Wizard dialog appears. A shortcut for the DHCP Management Console,
shown below, is added to the Start, Administrative Tools menu.

7. To create a DHCP scope, first open the DHCP Management Console. Then, highlight
the server object in the left pane of the utility. Next, from the Action menu, click New
Scope. The New Scope Wizard is displayed.

8. From the front page of the New Scope Wizard, click Next. In the Scope Name screen,
type a name and description for this scope. In a real-world environment, you would
typically choose a meaningful name such as "Head Office" or "Sales." For the
purposes of this exercise, use Head Office and then add a description. Click Next

when you are finished. The IP Address Range page of the wizard is displayed.

9. On the IP Address Range page, enter the starting and ending IP address of the range
you want to include in your DHCP scope. For the purposes of this exercise, use a
Start IP Address of 192.168.1.50, and an End IP Address of 192.168.1.100. As you
will see, the default subnet mask is generated when the Start IP Address field is
completed. This default subnet mask can be altered as needed by using the Length
field. The completed page should look like that shown below.

After you check your settings, click Next. The Add Exclusions page of the New
Scope Wizard is displayed.

10. The Add Exclusions page allows you to define one or more IP addresses in the
defined scope that will not be assigned to systems via DHCP. You can add a single
address by entering the same address in both the Start IP Address and End IP Address
fields, or define a range of addresses by using the first IP address of the range in the
Start IP Address field, and the last IP address of the range in the End IP Address field.
For the purposes of this exercise, add a single address exclusion of 192.168.1.63, and
a range exclusion of 192.168.1.70 to 192.168.1.75. When you finish, the Add
Exclusions screen should look like the example provided below.

When you finish your configurations, click Next. The Lease Duration screen of the
New Scope Wizard is displayed.

11. The Lease Duration screen of the New Scope Wizard allows you to define the
maximum amount of time an IP address can be kept by a client system before it must
be renewed. Select the desired duration, or leave at the default of 8 days, and click
Next. The Configure DHCP Options page is displayed.

12. In the Configure DHCP Options screen, select No, I Will Configure These Options
Later, and click Next. The final screen in the wizard indicates that you have
successfully completed the New Scope Wizard.

13. You are returned to the DHCP Configuration screen, where the newly created scope
appears. Notice in below that beside the scope is a red arrow that points down. This
lets you know that the scope is not yet active and cannot give IP addresses to clients.
To activate the scope, right-click on the new scope and select Activate from the menu
that appears.

14. When the scope has been activated, the red "deactivated" arrow is removed. The
figure below shows an activated DHCP scope.

commands.

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /all

Check from which DHCP server the client has obtained its IP by typing the third
ipconfig command.
