Lesson 1: Installing a DHCP Server
Every computer needs an address to communicate on an IP network, and this address can be provided either manually or automatically. For IPv4, the great majority of devices on a network receive their configurations automatically through a DHCP server. DHCP servers can also assign IPv6 addresses, but this arrangement is not as common because by default, IPv6 hosts configure their own addresses.
The actual procedure of installing and configuring a DHCP server is simple, but you still need to understand DHCP concepts in order to implement and manage DHCP on your network. This lesson introduces you not only to the initial configuration steps required to deploy a DHCP server but also to these basic DHCP concepts.
