A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server is a network service
that automatically assigns IP addresses and other related network
configuration parameters to devices on a network. It simplifies the
process of network configuration by dynamically allocating IP addresses
to devices as they connect to the network.
PLAN the IP Address Range and Exclusions
Besides degerming how to places the DHCP server into the network structure, you also to plan the ip address ranges you" ii use as well as which ip addresses to reserve or exclude from this pool of addresses. use the following list to help plan the IP address ranges to use and exclude.
.Determine the range of ip addresses that the DHCP server will manage. Most likely, this will be private address range such as 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x, or a site-local addresses such as FEC::/10.
.Make a list of any IP addresses to exclude to support hosts with static IP addresses. only DHCP server and hosts that don't' works as DHCP clients need static ip addresses, but DNS server are a good choice for a static IP address as well.
.Make a list off services that need to have unchanging ip addresses, such as DNS and wins server and than decide whether you can use a DHCP reservation or weather bona fide static addresses are needed.
if the dhcp server will be using internet-registered op addresses (which it probably won;t) register the ip addresses with the internet services provider (isp).
Adding the DHCP Server Role
you can add the DHCP Server Role to any Windows Server 2019 with a fixed ip address. if you re only adding a Dhcp Scop for ipv4 addresses you can use a fixed ipv4 address andan automatically generated link-local ipv6 address, but windows server 2019 will complain. And we think that complaint is Valid-you really should be using fixed ipv4 and ipv6.
To add the DHCP ROLE to a Windows Server 2019 computer, follow these
Steps:
1. Open Server Manager if it isn, t already open.
2. select roles in the left-hand pane and then select Add Roles from the Action menu to open the Add Roles wizard.
3. Click Next to open the select Server Roles page of the Add Roles Wizard, as showman
Domain Name System (DNS) integration
It is imperative for DHCP networks also to have DNS integration. DHCP concomitant with DNS integration makes it possible for clients using earlier versions of Windows or clients using other OS than Windows to update their records automatically.
Active Directory integration
Active Directory integration is another feature of the DHCP standard that enables DHCP servers to be authorized within Active Directory. Active Directory integration helps sieve unauthorized servers and maintain a system of only authorized servers within the network. This way, the administrator will fully control the servers allowed in the network.
One disadvantage of this feature is that it works only with Windows 2000 DHCP servers. The implication is that any other version of the DHCP server introduced in the network can escape the Active Directory authorization process.
