Using DHCP
After installing the DHCP service and configuring the scope(s) and option values, your DHCP services can issue IP configuration data to any client. Since the DHCP protocol acts at the IP level, the protocol performs no authentication when any DHCP client uses the protocol to request IP configuration details. That means that any client you attach to the physical subnet can ask for and receive IP confirmation details.
In the Configuring IP addressing recipe, you set a static IP address for SRV2
. In this recipe, you reconfigure this server to obtain a DHCP-based IP address (and the options you set in the Configuring DHCP scopes and options recipe).
Getting ready
You run this recipe on SRV2
, which you've reconfigured to get its address via DHCP. You also need DC1
, a domain controller for the Reskit.Org domain, and the DHCP server that you set up and configured in earlier recipes in this chapter.
