DynamicHostConfigurationProtocol In simple terms, DHCP determines if your IP is static or dynamic and the length of time an IP address is assigned. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is controlled by a DHCP server. Your router can be a DHCP server…and if you’re on a home network, it most likely serves this purpose.

known as (Dynamically Host Configuration Protocol) that uses a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other configurations information such as the subnet mask and default gateway. RFCs 2131 and 2132 define DHCP as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard based on Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), a protocol which DHCP shares many operation details. DHCP allows hosts to obtain required TCP/IP configuration information from a DHCP

DHCP DHCP, an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a protocol used to automatically assign a unique IP address to a device. DHCP allows a computer to join an IP-based network without having a pre-configured IP address. DHCP is a protocol that assigns unique IP addresses to devices, then releases and renews these addresses as devices leave and re-join the network. DHCP is also used to configure the proper subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server information on the device. A

A) DHCP B) TCP/IP C) DNS D) IP Feedback: In a Windows Server 2008 network, the primary means of identifying network devices and services is through the use of DNS. Correct Answer(s): C 2. The process of obtaining an IP address for a computer name (for example, “ComputerA”) is called __________.

resolution required. • Constancy—Host names remain constant even when associated IP addresses change, which makes locating network resources much easier. • Ease of Use—Users access computers using easy-to-remember names such as www. microsoft.com rather than a numerical IP address, such as 192.168.1.100. • Simplicity—Users need to learn only one naming convention to find resources on either the Internet or an intranet. 2.) DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. As the name suggests, DHCP

Active Directory Domain Services Active Directory Domain Services allows computer, user, and device information to be stored. This allows for an easier, visual based management in a tree structured format; the domain is the host controller. AD-DS makes IT administration easier by allocating resources in one central, secure

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard designed to reduce the administration burden and complexity of configuring hosts on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)-based network. DHCP is a communications protocol that allows network administrators to manage and automate IP (Internet Protocol) addresses on an organizations network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP

Scenario 1: End user complains of lack of connectivity to any resource not on the directly connected network. The host cannot ping its default gateway. The output of the “ipconfig /all” command is below. Also the IP address assigned to the router for that segment is also displayed below.

providing 2128 (about 340 billion) unique addresses. A True B False 2. Dynamic IP addresses can be assigned when administering TCP/IP hosts. These addresses must be configured and maintained manually. A B True False 3. Using DHCP relay agents eliminates the need to have a DHCP server on every subnet. A True B False 4. One benefit of the hierarchical structure of DNS is that it is possible to have two hosts with the same host names that are in different locations in the hierarchy. A B
