Chapter 8: Local Network Services
We’ll dig deeper into Samba issues in the section“Print Services” later in this chapter,
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services can help you with a number
of problems associated with local network environments, including IP address
assignment problems and administration issues. It’s difficult to imagine a network
without DHCP.
Let’s look at some issues you may face, and consider how DHCP can help:
PCs and workstations require unique IP addresses, DNS information, and the
locations of gateways.
Manually tracking IP addresses causes excessive work.
Accidental duplication of IP addresses creates conflicts on the network.
