EXPERIMENT-3 Exp No3:DHCP server configuration in Packet Tracer We learn some basics about Switches and Servers after that you can be able to understand this configuration with ease. In this lab, we use switches, DHCP server, DNS server and PC. Here | will tell ‘ou about some basic concepts of these components in detail. 1, Switeh:- Switch is a networking device that is used for connecting a large number of systems or PCs with each other on the same network. In other words, we can say that a Network Switch is a Computer Networkingdevice that is used for connects devices together with each other on the same network. Switch Provides a platform to us through which we can casily send and receive data between two systems. How Does a Switch Work? The switch doesn’t exchange information randomly but follow the specific instructions — the MAC addresses of every device. The IP packet arrives at the correct destination with the aid of the frame using MAC addresses of destination and source. It is the switch that uses the responsibility to complete process as follows.. Learning — The switch learns the MAC address of the device on the switch port on which it receives the frame. - Forwarding — The switch forwards message in either unicast or broadcast way. That depends on whether the destination MAC is known for sure or unknown. . Filtering — The frame will be forwarded through that switch port only for which the switch has already learned the MAC address in its MAC table. 2. Servers in scope Servers are dedicated computers for a specific purpose, and unlike the Desktop computer these computers are made for durability, longevity and for working longer periods of time as compared to a desktop PC. Functions of a Server: A server is made to provide services and functionality to other computers. The other computers which are using the server are called “clients” and this model of sharing is called “client- server” model.Server computers use the same parts as of the desktop PC but these parts are designed for durability and non-stop working conditions.Difference between server and PC : It is designed for redundancy and non-stop It is not designed for working hours. redundancy and longer working hours. The hardware is expensive. Hardware is not that expensive Uses specialized hardware only. Does not use specialized hardware. For different tasks different servers are APC can be used for any used. Example: — Email server, file server number of tasks. ete. DHCP Server:- The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to assign IP automatically to the systems with the help of a machine called DHCP server.A DHCP Server allows computers to request_an_ IP _address_and networking parameters automatically. If you do not have a DHCP Server to configure IP addresses automatically to the PCs then you need to assign a static or manual IP address on the Computers. So in simple words, we can say that DHCP Server is only used for assigning the IP addresses to the Systems automatically. Procedure: 1. Build the network topology.2. Configure static IP addresses on the PCs and the server. Server DHCP (on) From desktop IP address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 From services -> DHCP -> Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS Server: 10.0.0.1 start 192.168.0.0 then save .
