No. A Domain uses a Client/Server networking Model. A Workgroup uses a peer-to-peer networking model.
It depends on how the DHCP server scope options are configured. At a minimum, DHCP uses supplies the following:Adaptor IP AddressSubnet maskDefault GatewayPrimary/secondary DNS server addressesIt might also supply some other routing options, including WINS server addresses, etc.
Short for Automatic Private IPAddressing, a feature of later Windows operating systems. With APIPA, DHCP clients can automatically self-configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server isn't available. When a DHCP client boots up, it first looks for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address and subnet mask. If the client is unable to find the information, it uses APIPA to automatically configure itself with an IP address from a range that has been reserved especially for Microsoft. The IP address range is 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254. The client also configures itself with a default class B subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. A client uses the self-configured IP address until a DHCP server becomes available.The APIPA service also checks regularly for the presence of a DHCP server (every five minutes, according to Microsoft). If it detects a DHCP server on the network, APIPA stops, and the DHCP server replaces the APIPA networking addresses with dynamically assigned addresses.APIPA is meant for nonrouted small business environments, usually less than 25 clients.
Yes, a LAN could have two DHCP servers, but it wouldn't make much sense. Typically each LAN has it's own DHCP server or uses a DHCP relay agent to get an address from another subnet.
I think your question is 'What is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol' ? If that is so then here's the answer Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol' or DHCP is a Protocol defined in the TCP/IP protocol suite to dynamically configure the Hosts (computers ) in a network. Configurations such as IP address , sub net mask and all other parameters are configured automatically with the help of DHCP server?(which uses the DHCP protocol.
"DHCP Server is free software. It can be used and redistributed for both academic and commercial uses at no cost. There are no royalties. There is no requirements such as including copyright messages or logos involved in using the software. The software is provided ""as is"", without warranty of any kind."
There is no such thing as a "Linux" network. Linux uses the standard TCP/IP protocol for most modern networking purposes. This protocol is also used on Windows and Mac OS X. On any network with a working DHCP server the process is as simple as connecting to the router.
tcpsvcs.exe is a part of Microsoft Windows networking components. This essential system process is initiated when the computer uses special TCP/IP networking services such as DHCP, Simple TCP and print services. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer. you should reinstall your OS.
DHCP uses the clients MAC address to determine the IP address a client receives.
a dhcp server.............What is DHCP?Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.DHCP assigns an IP address when a system is started, for example:A user turns on a computer with a DHCP client.The client computer sends a broadcast request (called a DISCOVER or DHCPDISCOVER), looking for a DHCP server to answer.The router directs the DISCOVER packet to the correct DHCP server.The server receives the DISCOVER packet. Based on availability and usage policies set on the server, the server determines an appropriate address (if any) to give to the client. The server then temporarily reserves that address for the client and sends back to the client an OFFER (or DHCPOFFER) packet, with that address information. The server also configures the client's DNS servers, WINS servers, NTP servers, and sometimes other services as well.The client sends a REQUEST (or DHCPREQUEST) packet, letting the server know that it intends to use the address.The server sends an ACK (or DHCPACK) packet, confirming that the client has a been given a lease on the address for a server-specified period of time.When a computer uses a static IP address, it means that the computer is manually configured to use a specific IP address. One problem with static assignment, which can result from user error or inattention to detail, occurs when two computers are configured with the same IP address. This creates a conflict that results in loss of service. Using DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses minimizes these conflicts.
A DHCP scope is a valid range of IP addresses which are available for assignments or lease to client computers on a particular subnet. In a DHCP server, you configure a scope to determine the address pool of IPs which the server can provide to DHCP clients. Scopes determine which IP addresses are provided to the clients. Scopes should be defined and activated before DHCP clients use the DHCP server for its dynamic IP configuration. You can configure as many scopes on a DHCP server as is required in your network environment Using superscopes A superscope is an administrative feature of DHCP servers running Windows Server 2003 that you can create and manage through the DHCP console. Using a superscope, you can group multiple scopes as a single administrative entity. With this feature, a DHCP server can:Support DHCP clients on a single physical network segment (such as a single Ethernet LAN segment) where multiple logical IP networks are used. When more than one logical IP network is used on each physical subnet or network, such configurations are often called multinets.Support remote DHCP clients located on the far side of DHCP and BOOTP relay agents (where the network on the far side of the relay agent uses multinets).In multinet configurations, you can use DHCP superscopes to group and activate individual scope ranges of IP addresses used on your network. In this way, the DHCP server computer can activate and provide leases from more than one scope to clients on a single physical network. Superscopes can resolve certain types of DHCP deployment issues for multinets, including situations in which: The available address pool for a currently active scope is nearly depleted, and more computers need to be added to the network. The original scope includes the full addressable range for a single IP network of a specified address class. You need to use another IP network range of addresses to extend the address space for the same physical network segment.Clients must be migrated over time to a new scope (such as to renumber the current IP network from an address range used in an existing active scope to a new scope that contains another IP network range of addresses).You want to use two DHCP servers on the same physical network segment to manage separate logical IP networks.Superscope configurations for multinets The following section shows how a simple DHCP network consisting originally of one physical network segment and one DHCP server, can be extended to use superscopes for support of multinet configurations. Example 1: Non-routed DHCP server (before superscope) In this preliminary instance, a small local area network (LAN) with one DHCP server supports a single physical subnet, Subnet A. The DHCP server in this configuration is limited to leasing addresses to clients on this same physical subnet. The following illustration shows this example network in its original state. At this point, no superscopes have been added and a single scope, Scope 1, is used to service all DHCP clients on Subnet A. Example 2: Superscope for non-routed DHCP server supporting local multinets To include multinets implemented for client computers on Subnet A, the same network segment where the DHCP server is located, you can configure a superscope which includes as members: the original scope (Scope 1) and additional scopes for the logical multinets for which you need to add support (Scope 2, Scope 3). This illustration shows the scope and superscope configuration to support the multinets on the same physical network (Subnet A) as the DHCP server. Example 3: Superscope for routed DHCP server with relay agent supporting remote multinets To include multinets implemented for client computers on Subnet B, the remote network segment located across a router from the DHCP server on Subnet A, you can configure a superscope which includes as members: the additional scopes for the logical multinets for which you need to add remote support (Scope 2, Scope 3). Note that since the multinets are for the remote network (Subnet B), the original scope (Scope 1) does not need to be part of the added superscope. This illustration shows the scope and superscope configuration to support the multinets on the remote physical network (Subnet B) away from the DHCP server.
