Overview/Description
Every network device requires an IP address to communicate in a TCP/IP network. This course examines the Server 2012 IP address assignment and management within a private network and discusses how to distinguish between the methods available to assign IP addresses. This course also describes how to configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and reviews APIPA and advanced TCP/IP settings. The DHCP service performs a pivotal role within a subnet - it automatically provides suitably configured clients with IP addresses and other configuration settings, and refreshes those addresses on a predefined schedule. DHCP relieves the burden of manually allocating unique IP addresses to network hosts and devices. In an Active Directory environment, DHCP can be integrated with DNS to provide secure allocation of IP addresses. This course covers the deployment, configuration and management of DHCP within an Active Directory environment, and details the available command line options to manage a Server 2012 core DHCP hosting deployment. The integration of DHCP with DNS, managing DHCP with Server Core and PowerShell, and using ipconfig and netsh commands to configure DHCP are examined. Please note this course is based on the original Windows Server 2012 release. Skillsoft recommends visiting the vendor website to confirm exam requirements.
