Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an open standard Internet protocol used to allocate and manage IP addresses dynamically. Before DHCP came along, administrators had to manually configure each host on a network with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Maintaining the changes and the associated logs took a tremendous amount of time and was prone to error. DHCP uses a client/server model in which the system updates and maintains the network information dynamically. Windows 2000 provides enhanced DHCP client-server support.DHCP for Windows 2000 is custom-designed for system administrators who are responsible for configuring and maintaining networks with Windows 2000 servers. It explains the DHCP protocol and how to install and manage DHCP on both servers and clients--including client platforms other than Windows 2000.Readers get detailed and explicit instructions for using Windows 2000 DHCP to manage their network IP configurations much more efficiently and effectively.They get background information for using DHCP in general, plus complete information about the Windows 2000 use of DHCP. For those interested in what's on the horizon, the author steps up to the plate with an analysis of the future direction of DHCP and Windows support for IPv6.

For courses in TCP/IP and related protocols. The DHCP Handbook is an authoritative overview and expert guide to the set up and management of a DHCP server. This book allows students to understand DHCP, design and deploy DHCP services, and solve debugging problems with DHCP clients and servers.

Who created DHCP - a lazy administrator. This micro-course describes the main information about the DHCP service – how the mechanism works, the description of the protocol and the existing implementations. Keywords: dhcpd, DHCP

DHCP has one problem - everybody in the local network can use it. This micro-course describes the way of integrating the DHCP mechanism with the firewall and basic commands for testing the DHCP safety. Keywords: dhcpdump, dhcping, dhcp_probe

Automatic configuration of network interface and network DHCP is currently the most widely protocol used for dynamic assigning the workstation settings like the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS server addresses, domain name, etc. In this micro-course we discuss the basics of DHCP. We show how to run a DHCP server and also we mention the safety aspects of the services.

The world of IT is always evolving, but in every area there are stable, core concepts that anyone just setting out needed to know last year, needs to know this year, and will still need to know next year. The purpose of the Foundations series is to identify these concepts and present them in a way that gives you the strongest possible starting point, no matter what your endeavor. TCP/IP Foundations provides essential knowledge about the two protocols that form the basis for the Internet, as well as many other networks. What you learn here will benefit you in the short term, as you acquire and practice your skills, and in the long term, as you use them. Topics covered include: The origins of TCP/IP and the Internet The layers comprising the OSI and DoD models TCP/IP addressing Subnet masks Creating custom subnet masks Supernetting and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) Name resolution The Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic DNS Windows Internet Naming Services (WINS) The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) What to expect with IPv6

The definitive guide for collecting a LAN to the Internet with DHCP. This title shows how to configure desktops for Internet access--remotely and automatically. The CD-ROM contains the complete IETF DHCP Internet standards, freeware DHCP implementation, and trial ware of commercial DHCP products from Join Systems.
