DHCP Relay Agent Overview
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service that runs at the application layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack to dynamically assign IP addresses to DHCP clients, and to allocate TCP/IP configuration information to DHCP clients. This includes subnet mask information, default gateway IP addresses, DNS IP addresses, and WINS IP addresses. The DHCP protocol is derived from the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) protocol. The DHCP server is configured with a...

Using Event Viewer to Monitor DHCP Activity
You can use the Event Viewer tool, located in the Administrative Tools folder, to monitor DHCP activity. Event Viewer stores events that are logged in the system log, application log, and security log. The system log contains events that are associated with the operating system. The application log stores events that pertain to applications running on the computer. Events that are associated with auditing activities are logged in the security log...

Configuring the DHCP Server Environment
The primary steps required for configuring and managing your DHCP server environment are:
Install the DHCP service on a server
Authorize the DHCP server in Active Directory.
Configure the necessary DHCP scopes for your subnets.
Configure superscopes and multicast scopes
Configure the DHCP lease duration.
Configure the DHCP options.
Configure the DHCP reservations.
Configure the BOOTP tables.
Configure DHCP and DDNS integration.

DHCP Overview
An IP address can be defined as a unique numeric identifier (address) that is assigned to each computer operating in a TCP/IP based network. Manually configuring computers with IP addresses and other TCP/IP configuration parameters is not an intricate task. However, manually configuring thousands of workstations with unique IP addresses would be a time consuming, and cumbersome experience. When you manually assign IP addresses, you increase the risk of duplicating IP address...

An Overview of DHCP
In TCP/IP based networks, a unique IP address must be assigned to each computer. An IP address is a unique numeric identifier that identifies computers on the network. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service that can be implemented to automatically assign unique IP addresses to DHCP clients.
DHCP runs at the application layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack to provide the following functions in TCP/IP networks:
Dynamically assign IP addresses to DHCP...

DHCP and Remote Access Overview
When a remote computer connects to a remote access server, it is automatically provided with an IP address when the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection is established.
You can configure the RRAS server to allocate IP addresses to remote clients from:
A static range of IP addresses: This method is usually implemented when there are no internal DHCP servers.
An existing DHCP Server: This is achieved by relaying clients to the DHCP server for IP address...

DHCP Server Role Security Issues
The DHCP server role is responsible for dynamically assigning IP addresses to DHCP clients, and for assigning additional TCP/IP configuration information to DHCP clients as well. This includes subnet mask information, default gateway IP addresses, Domain Name System (DNS) server IP addresses, and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server IP addresses.
A DHCP must have at least one scope which consists of the IP addresses which the DHCP server can...
