I Advice - CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Tutorial: DHCP and DHCP Relay Agents
Whoever said ‘health is wealth’ was perhaps only half right. For, if we think wealth is the key to health, then you know you’ve found good wealth to afford the comforts of life, and your worries would take a backseat. Much the opposite would happen if your finances are out of control. So in money matters, it’s essential to analyze, plan and execute.The first step towards a secure financial position starts with budgeting. You must have a budget to gauge your future positioning. A budget is nothing but an overview on how much you earn, spend, and save. This
When hosts receive an IP address from DHCP, it does not belong to that host permanently. The address is actually leased from a DHCP server. Let's walk through the DHCP process from the host's point of view.
First, the DHCP Client boots up, and sends a DHCP Discover packet onto the network. The host does this in order to "Discover" a DHCP server or servers. This Discover packet is a Level 3 broadcast, whi
It has never been easy to have your creative writing output accepted by traditional publishing houses.Witness these famous masters of fiction who were all obliged to take the route of shelling out hard cash to have their debut novels printed.Alexandre Dumas D.H.

When it comes to assigning an IP address to all the PCs on our network, along with their network mask, DNS server location, and more, we've got two choices on how to do it:
• Go to every workstation and configure the workstation statically
• Go to every workstation and configure them all to use DHCP
What we have here is the classic "static vs. dynamic" argument. I don't want you to think I'm lazy, but I'll take the dynamic way of doing things almost every single time.
You may wonder why it matters, since both methods involve visiting each workstation. You're right about that, and even though it's a lot quicker to configure a workstation to get its IP address and mask from a DHCP server than it is to configure the entire IP address and mask statically, the real benefits come in when the network changes.
And take it from me - your network will change. You'll remove hosts, you'll add hosts, and if the previous network manager didn't plan for future growth, the day may come when you've got to change the IP numbering scheme for your network. The choice that was made originally between static configuration and DHCP will then determine how easy the change will be.
• If the network was statically configured, you will now have to go to every single workstation and change their IP addressing to the new scheme.
• If the network is using DHCP, you simply change the networking scheme on the DHCP server and allow the workstations to get their new addresses dynamically.
Believe me, I've performed IP address changes in both fashions, and I'll take DHCP every time! Avoiding static IP address assignments also cuts down on the chances of two hosts in your network being assigned the same IP address.

After years of simply amazing interest rates, 2006 turned out to be a bit of a watershed in the mortgage industry. With 2007 just a step away, what can we expect in the home loan market?The 2007 Mortgage MarketFrom 2000 through 2005, we saw a historic period in the money borrowing market. As the Federal Reserve Bank sought to battle market forces and stimulate the economy, it set borrowing rates at historic lows. These rates allowed banks to borrow money at next to nothing and then issue loans to home buyers at unheard of rates. In 2006, of course,

Leadership development requires many levels of effort and commitment. There needs to be accountability, a structure of effort on self-development, and a commitment from senior management that is more than simply spending training dollars.Training is not an event. It is a continuous improvement process that will distinguish between those looking to build a career and those waiting on the company to provide one. Getting the best ROI on your leadership development requires the following steps:Step 1: Establish a Training ProcessMost companies m

Affiliate Marketing is also one of the best ways to get the word out about your product/ service. Its is also one of the best ways to make money selling these products/ services. You will certainly have heard about success stories from affiliates who are making their living just by selling products, which they haven't even created themselves... How did they know which affiliate program to promote? Now although, affiliate programs are a great means of earning some handy cash; not all affiliate programs are profitable. Some will only take up

One of the nicest things about eBay is finding useful resources you didn’t know already existed which could have helped solve long-standing problems. Case in point is a sales tool I found on eBay, only this morning, which shows exactly how much you’ve made on eBay during any given month and also gives precise details of your eBay and PayPal costs during the month.That’s great help for people like me who labour over end of year accounts, wondering where on earth to start calculating income and outgoings for the taxman’s perusal. Until now my eBay account
When hosts receive an IP address from DHCP, it does not belong to that host permanently. The address is actually leased from a DHCP server. Let's walk through the DHCP process from the host's point of view.
First, the DHCP Client boots up, and sends a DHCP Discover packet onto the network. The host does this in order to "Discover" a DHCP server or servers. This Discover packet is a Level 3 broadcast, which has a destination IP address of 255.255.255.255.
Every DHCP Server that hears this broadcast will respond with a DHCP Offer, and it's an IP address and mask that is being offered. The DHCP Offer also includes a subnet mask, the IP address of the DHCP Server sending the response, and how long the host can keep this address (the DHCP lease duration).
If multiple DHCP Servers happen to hear this broadcast, they will each offer an IP address.
The DHCP Client will accept the first offer it receives. It does so by sending another broadcast, a DHCP Request packet.
The DHCP Server that made the offer that's being accepted will now send a DHCP Acknowledgement, which contains the rest of the information the host needs to function, including the location of a DNS server. The DHCP Server that made the offer that was not accepted will return the offered IP address to its range of assignable addresses, its address pool.
I made several mentions in this section about these DHCP packets being broadcasts. Do you remember which network connectivity device does not forward broadcasts? That's right, it's our old friend, the router!
If a PC is on one side of the router and the DHCP Server is on another side, we’ve got a problem. The initial DHCP Discover packet is a broadcast, and the router will not forward that broadcast to the DHCP Server. Luckily, this doesn't mean that we need a DHCP server on every single subnet on the network, because we can configure the router as a DHCP Relay Agent.
A DHCP Relay Agent will forward DHCP Requests to the DHCP Server. You can also configure a Windows server as a DHCP Relay Agent. Naturally, the Relay Agent must be on the same physical segment as the hosts that cannot reach the DHCP Server - never put it on the same segment as the DHCP Server itself.
