 Exercise 4.1 Creating a DHCPv4 Scope
Overview A scope is a range of IP addresses that a DHCP server uses to
supply clients on a particular subnet with IP addresses. In this
exercise, you will create a scope for IPv4 addresses on your DHCP
server.
Mindset A DHCP scope is a range of IP addresses on a selected subnet that are
selected for allocation by a DHCP server. After you install the DHCP
role, you can then create a scope using the DHCP snap-in for Microsoft
Management Console (MMC).
Completion time 20 minutes

1. Log on to LON-DC1 as adatum\administrator with the password of Pa$$w0rd.

2. In Server Manager, click Tools > DHCP. In the DHCP console, click lon-dc1.adatum.com (see Figure 4-1).
Maximize the DHCP window.

box, type 10.0.0.10. Click Add.

Why is it necessary to exclude addresses from the range of

Question addresses included in the scope?

Exercise 4.2 Creating a DHCPv6 Scope

Overview In this exercise, you will create a DHCP scope to allocate IPv6
addresses to the computers on your network.

Mindset Like the IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses are divided into network bits
and host addresses. In addition, IPv6 supports automatic configuration.
However, with a Windows DHCP server, you can also configure
stateful address autoconfiguration.

Exercise 4.4 Creating and Configuring Multicast Scopes

Overview In this exercise, you will create a multicast scope.
Mindset In DHCP, multicast scopes (commonly known as Multicast Address
Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol [MADCAP] scopes) allow
applications to reserve a multicast IP address for data and content
delivery. For applications which use multicasting request addresses
from the scopes, those applications need to support the MADCAP
application programming interface (API).
Completion time 10 minutes

2. On the New Multicast Scope Wizard page, click Next.

Leave the DHCP console open for the next exercise.

Exercise 4.5 Creating a DHCP Reservation

Overview In this exercise, you will create a DCHP reservation in a DHCP
scope.
Mindset DHCP client reservations allow administrators to reserve an IP address
for permanent use by a DHCP client. By using reservations, you can
ensure that the host will always have the same IP address. As with any
other lease, when a client receives a reserved address, the client also
receives all assigned options, such as addresses of the default gateway
and DNS servers. If these options are changed, they are automatically
updated on the client when the lease is renewed.
Completion time 20 minutes

1. On LON-DC1, in the DHCP console, under the Corporate Office Scope IPv4 node, click the Reservations
node.

2. Right-click the Reservations node and choose New Reservation. The New Reservation dialog box opens, as
shown in Figure 4-4.

Which two reservation types are supported?

 Lab Challenge Creating a DHCP Policy
Overview In this exercise, you will continue with the last exercise to create
a DHCP scope and then assign a DHCP policy to the scope.

Mindset By using DHCP policies, you can provide granular control over
scopes to allow you to assign different IP addresses or different
options based on the device type or its role. Policies are applicable
for a specific scope with a defined processing order. The options can
be configured at the scope or inherited from server-wide policies.
