BASIC CONFIGURATIONS
IP ADDRESS (INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS)
An IP address is a fundamental concept in computer networking. It serves
as a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a
network, allowing for their identification and communication. IP addresses
are a crucial component of the Internet and local networks.

SUBNETTING
Subnetting is a technique used to divide a larger IP network into smaller,
more manageable sub-networks or subnets. Subnetting provides several
benefits, including efficient IP address allocation and improved network
organization.

DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM

DNS (Domain Name System): DNS translates human-readable domain
names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses, enabling users to access
websites without needing to remember numeric IP addresses.

 RSTP (RAPID SPANNING TREE
PROTOCOL)
Alright, imagine a big network with lots of switches. RSTP is
like the traffic cop of this network. It makes sure there are no
loops in the connections between switches, so data doesn't keep
going in circles. It's all about keeping things efficient and
avoiding traffic jams.

STP (SPANNING TREE

PROTOCOL)
•STP is like the older sibling of RSTP. It does the same job of
preventing loops in network connections, but it's a bit slower to
react. Think of it as the cautious one, taking its time to make
decisions.

OVERVIEW ARP (Address Resolution

Protocol)
OF KEY ARP is like the phonebook of your local network. When your
computer wants to talk to another computer on the same network,

NETWORKIN it uses ARP to find out that computer's physical MAC address
based on its IP address.

Step 1: Commence by launching the Server Manager and
navigating to the "Manage" option. From there, select "Roles
and Features."

Step 2: Before proceeding with role and feature

installation, ensure the completion of essential pre-
installation tasks. Only when these tasks are successfully
accomplished, proceed by clicking "Next."
 Step 3: Given the singular server configuration, choose the
"Role-based or Features-based Installation" option.

Step 4: Verify that the virtual Windows server's name and IP address align
with the information provided during the post-installation period.
 Step 5: Select the desired role, in this case, the DHCP
Server.

Step 6: Confirm the addition of all necessary features for the

DHCP Server.
 Step 7: During the installation process, you will receive pertinent information about the DHCP
Server.

Step 8: Opt for automatic restart if necessary and proceed with the installation.
Step 9: After initiation, a verification process will validate the preceding steps, ultimately leading to the
installation of the DHCP server's designated roles and features.

Step 10: Upon completion of the installation, all interfaces will close, and the system will undergo a restart.
Step 11: Configuration of the DHCP Server is the next task. Access the "Tools" menu
and select the "DHCP" option.

Step 12: In the absence of an existing scope, create a new scope by right-clicking on "IPv4" and choosing "New Scope."
Step 13: Provide a name for the newly created scope.

Step 14: Define the starting and ending IP addresses for the
scope.
Step 15: Optionally, specify exceptions – reserved IP addresses not assigned to clients.

Step 16: Set the lease time for IP addresses within the scope.
Step 17: Conclude the scope configuration by selecting the "Activate Scope" option.

TESTING
To retrieve the present IP
configuration of a client system,
one must employ the command
"ipconfig" within the command
prompt. Upon execution of this
command, the system shall
dutifully furnish the current IP
address in a display of information.

Next, to release the system's current

IP address, simply execute the
"ipconfig/release" command. This
action initiates the process of
relinquishing the system's current IP
configuration.
 Following that, for the renewal of the system's IP address, the
"ipconfig/renew" command is employed. This command prompts the
system to obtain a new IP address from the DHCP server, which will
then be displayed.

Within our server, it is possible to access information about the client system by inspecting the Address Lease records.
