Module 2: Managing and monitoring dynamic host configuration protocol. This module provides you with the knowledge and skills to manage the DHCP service to reflect changing client IP addressing needs. It also provides you with the knowledge and skills to monitor DHCP server performance, because the DHCP environment is dynamic. | Module 2: Managing and Monitoring Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Overview Managing a DHCP Database Monitoring DHCP Applying Security Guidelines for DHCP Lesson: Managing a DHCP Database Overview of Managing DHCP What Is a DHCP Database? How a DHCP Database Is Backed Up and Restored How a DHCP Database Is Reconciled DHCP Server Configuration Options Practice: Managing a DHCP Database Overview of Managing DHCP The DHCP service needs to be managed to respond to changes in the network Scenarios for managing DHCP: Managing DHCP database growth Protecting the DHCP database Ensuring DHCP database consistency Adding clients Adding new network service servers Adding new subnets What Is a DHCP Database? The DHCP database contains DHCP configuration data such as: Scopes Address leases Reservations Windows Server 2003 stores the DHCP database in the folder %Systemroot%\System32\Dhcp The DHCP database files include: and J50*.log Res*.log The DHCP database is a dynamic database that contains configuration information DHCP Server DHCP DHCP Offline Storage How a DHCP Database Is Backed Up and Restored Back up The DHCP service automatically backs up the DHCP database to the backup directory on the local drive Restore Back up Restore If the original database is unable to load, the DHCP service automatically restores from the backup directory on the local drive The administrator moves a copy of the backed up DHCP database to an offline storage location In the event that the server hardware fails, the administrator can restore only from the offline storage location How a DHCP Database Is Reconciled Example Registry DHCP Database After Reconciliation Client has IP address IP address is available Lease entry is created in DHCP Database DHCP Server DHCP Database Registry Summary IP address lease information Detailed IP address lease information Compares and reconciles inconsistencies in the DHCP Database DHCP | Module 2: Managing and Monitoring Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Overview Managing a DHCP Database Monitoring DHCP Applying Security Guidelines for DHCP Lesson: Managing a DHCP Database Overview of Managing DHCP What Is a DHCP Database?
