Easily deploy Windows 2003 DHCP service

The network managed in the morning is rapidly expanding and the number of computers is increasing. In order to get the job done, the morning is constantly using the spare time "charge”. On this day, he learned from some information that in a network with a large number of computers, the DHCP service can be used to automatically assign an IP address to the client computer, which saves the trouble of manually configuring the IP address. I think this morning is not bad, so it will definitely reduce the workload. Although I have already had a certain understanding of DHCP in the morning, I don’t dare to do it because I don’t have practical experience. Fortunately, our master Ayi is on hand to guide ……

Ready to install

Auntie is a master of technology with good habits. Every time you do the actual operation, you must always do some preparations for the goal you want to achieve. Of course, this time is no exception. Aunt first asked for a server with Windows Server 2003 to deploy the DHCP service in the morning, and also assigned a static IP address to the server in the morning (eg, “10.115.223.1”). In addition, according to the number of client computers in the same subnet in the network, Ayi and Chenchen initially determined a range of IP addresses as the scope of DHCP.

Auntie: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is one of the service components built into Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. The DHCP service automatically assigns TCP/IP configuration information (such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Dns server address) to client computers on the network, helping network administrators eliminate the need to manually configure related options.

Installing DHCP Service

The DHCP service is not installed by default in Windows Server 2003. Therefore, the DHCP service is started in the morning under the guidance of Ayi.

Step 1 Double-click the “Add or Remove Programs” icon in the “Control Panel” button. Click the “Add/Remove Windows Components” button on the left side of the window that opens. Open “ Windows Component Wizard & rdquo; dialog box.

Step 2 Find and tick the “Network Service” checkbox in the “Components” list, then click the “Details” button to open the “Web Services” dialog. frame. Then select the “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)” checkbox in the “Sub-components of Network Services” list, and then click the “OK” and “Next” button to start configuring and installing the DHCP service. Finally click the “Complete" button to complete the installation (Figure 1).

Ah Hao Tip: If you are deploying a DHCP server in Active Directory (AD) domain, also need to authorize the DHCP server to take effect. The network in this example is based on the workgroup management mode, so the operation of creating IP scopes can be performed without authorization. Previous123Next page Total 3 pages
