Configuring DHCP:
Overview
DHCP is a network service used to provide hosts with IP configuration. DHCP
is short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Several options can be
configured on a DHCP server including (but not limited to):
IP Address
Subnet Mask
WINS/DNS server
NTP server
Default Gateway
Configuring DHCP:
1. Open up DHCP MMC snap-in from Start > Programs > Administrative
Tools >DHCP
2. Configure the global server options (this will vary between different sites).
