Module 2: Implement DHCP

  • Automatic IP configuration makes it easier to manage IP hosts. In this module, students learn how to deploy and manage the DHCP server role, select a high-availability option for DHCP, and configure DHCP failover.
  • Lessons
  • What is DHCP?
  • Deploy DHCP
  • Manage DHCP high availability
  • Manage and troubleshoot DHCP
  • Lab 1: Implement DHCP
  • Plan a DHCP server implementation
  • Implement the DHCP configuration
  • Implement DHCP failover
  • Validate the DHCP implementation

Module 3: Plan and implement IPv6

  • This module details how to plan and implement an IPv6 addressing scheme to support your organization’s needs. It also includes specifics about configuring coexistence between IPv4 and IPv6 and explains options for transitioning to IPv6.
