1. 2. 3. 4. What is a DHCP reservation? What is an exclusion range? What is the Linux command to receive an IP address from a DHCP Server? What link in the Start Menu will allow you to access the DHCP Server Utility?

Answer 1

Solution:

1)

A DHCP reservation is a permanent IP address assignment. It is a specific IP address within a DHCP scope that is permanently reserved for leased use to a specific DHCP client. Users can configure a DHCP reservation in their DHCP server when they need to reserve a permanent IP address assignment.

2)

An exclusion range is a set of one or more IP addresses, included within the range of a defined scope, that you do not want to lease to DHCP clients. Exclusion ranges assure that the server does not offer to DHCP clients on your network any addresses in these ranges. For example two exclusion ranges being configured for a new scope, one of which consist of only one IP address. By setting an exclusion for these addresses, you specify that DHCP clients are never offered these addresses when they request a lease from the server.

You can also use exclusion ranges at the edges of ranges. For example, you can define a scope's range as 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 and then define an exclusion range of 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.10 to accommodate the servers within the subnet that have IP addresses that are configured manually (statically)
