Lab 6
DHCP


We will be working in the windows environment. The routers dhcp has been disabled, however machines on the network must be able to attain dynamic configuration. In this lab we will support our own DHCP server.

Windows Static IP.


Boot into Windows. Configure your machine as static IP, with default gateway and dns. This is required. Verify that you can google something.

WireShark

Google and install the windows version of WireShark. Test it and be sure it is working.


DHCP Server

Google "dhcp server windows", you should find at the top of the list a freeware server from "dhcpserver.de". Read up on it, download the installation. Install.

Token Ring

Only 1, dhcp server can be active at any one time. So, the class will be given a token (chalk brush). If you are in possession of the brush you will be allowed to enable your server for testing. To give up the brush you must bring down your server before brush release. At that time, you can try to connect and obtain an internet address from a server enabled in the lab.


Reward 4%

1) You must successfully configure and enable your dhcp server to give out addresses.

2) You must successfully connect and obtain an address and use those credentials to google something.  Beware not to open a cached web page.

3) You must capture a wire shark session with show you getting and giving a dhcp.

Notes:  This lab will require you to switch between static and dhcp quite often. Be familiar with IPv4 on windows and the use of ipconfig to release and renew dhcp.
