Configuring DNS and DHCP

DHCP is used to automatically distribute IP configuration settings to network clients, it

eliminates manual configuration of hosts on TCP/IP-based networks. To Install DHCP role, we
followed the steps below.

First, install DHCP role on the server from server manager, add roles and features and then click
next.
On the select installation type screen, select role-based or feature-based installation, and click
next button. On the select destination server screen, select “select a server from the server pool”
and click next.

Next on the select server roles, click DHCP button and click next to proceed. on the select
features screen, click next because we have no extra features to install at the moment. on the
DHCP server screen, click next to proceed.

On the confirm installation selections, click install. wait until the installation is successful and
click close button.
Provide an account with required permission in AD to authorize DHCP servers. You can use
logged in account (admin) or provide alternate account that has required permissions. Do not
skip AD authorization as you cannot manage DHCP servers until they are authorized in AD. Let
it complete required steps and complete the wizard.
Next, open server manager and click tools, select DHCP in the list, click the DHCP to open the
console.

Once DHCP console opens, verify server name, double click IPv4, and you will notice there is
no scope available. No scope mean no IP address will distribute to our clients.

Next, create the scope for the client to get IP from the server. Right click IPv4, click new scope.
Then click next to proceed. On the scope name, enter any name you prefer to help identify the
scope information then click next.

On the IP address range screen, enter the range of IP for the clients,  the IP entered is
distributed to clients. for example, 10.1.1.10 to 10.1.1.50 for start IP until 10.1.1.50 for the last
IP. On the add exclusions and delay, we exclude 10.1.1.10 to 10.1.1.15, meaning 5 IP’s will not
be distributed to any clients.
Next, on the lease duration, we set 7 days, this is where you specify how long your clients can
use an IP address from this scope.

Next, on the Configure DHCP options screen, click “yes, to configure the options now”. On the
router (default gateway) screen, you need to let the DHCP server know the default gateway IP.

Next on the Domain Name and DNS Servers screen, verify that parent domain automatically
detects the domain name which is local and the IP itself. On the WINS Servers, click next
because we do not have any WINS server running.
Next, on the activate scope screen, verify that you choose yes to activate this scope now and
click next. then on the next screen, click finish.

On the DHCP console, you will see the new scope now running and ready to distribute IP to
clients.

To verify the DHCP server can distribute the IP from this server. Turn on the client and go to
local area connection properties, double click TCP/IPv4 and make sure you choose to obtain an
IP address automatically, same goes to obtain DNS server address automatically and click ok.
Lastly. open command prompt, and type ipconfig/all to verify that your machine is getting IP
from DHCP server created.
