DHCP

[rc@bhfshops!org!.uk]

Hi

We have a UW 7.1 box, on the system log there are lots of messages
about dhpc, can some one tell me how to swich off dhcp please

There is nothing in the /etc/inid.d folder or /etc/rc2.d folder for
dhcp start script

Thanks

I have DHCP running on a Win2K server on my network. I now need to have
Solaris run DHCP as well. The only way that I can get solaris to see it's
host name is to use Registrations in DHCP. This really is not a very
attractive solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Adding a second windows 2003 dc and would like to setup a
dhcp service as a backup to the primary server. I am
assuming that as long as I use a different scope on the
new server it will not interfere with the primary. Is
this a safe assumption?

Thanks,
John

Well you can actually give it the same range e.g.



192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.200 and then on the DHCP exclude IPs 192.168.101-200
and on the second DHCP server exclude IPs from 192.168.0.1-100



Don't forget to create any DNS settings, subnet mask, default gateway, etc
on the second DHCP server. These settings should (in most cases) be same on
both servers...



I hope this helps,



Mike

John:

Windows Server 2003 has an easy to use built-in DHCP backup/restore. The
backup will contain all your DHCP server scopes and lease info. I used that
to transfer the DHCP service form one server to another and it works great.
You'll see the backup and restore options when you right-click the DHCP
server in the DHCP MMC. There's also some MS utility for migrating DHCP from
older OSes.

I'm confused about the difference between DHCP as a server
role versus the dhcp setting as part of Routing and Remote
Access. If I look at NAT/Basic Firewall Properties-
Address Assignment, there is a check box to Automatically
Assign IP addresses by using the DHCP allocator. How is
this connected with DHCP as a "server role" ? The server
role has many more options.

Thanks

The RRAS server acts as a mini DHCP server, handing out IP addresses and
other vital bits of information. Dial-in clients get these addresses from
RRAS, not from the full blown DHCP server.

So, if I set up DHCP as a role, as long as I don't need
remote users getting IP's, I can uncheck the box in the
router settings ?

Yes, if you have no dial in users and are using RRAS as a router the RRAS
server doesn't need to hand out IP addresses.
