How to Install and Configure DHCP Server in Ubuntu Server August 11th, 2009
A DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to client computers. This is very often used in enterprise networks to reduce configuration efforts. All IP addresses of all computers are stored in a database that resides on a server machine.
Â
A DHCP server can provide configuration settings using two methods
Address Pool
This method entails defining a pool (sometimes also called a range or scope) of IP addresses
from which DHCP clients are supplied their configuration properties dynamically and on a fist come first serve basis. When a DHCP client is no longer on the network for a specified period, the configuration is expired and released back to the address pool for use by other DHCP Clients.
MAC Address
This method entails using DHCP to identify the unique hardware address of each network card connected to the network and then continually supplying a constant configuration each time the DHCP client makes a request to the DHCP server using that network device.
