Windows 2000 DHCP Installation and Configuration



Windows 2000 DHCP Installation and Configuration

This exercise involves configuring a Windows 2000 DHCP server to allocate addresses to an IP network. Options are also configured to enable Mitel IP Phones to work correctly – At this point it is worth noting that a PC that is given Mitel IP Phone options will simply ignore them and just utilize the standard options allocated, IP Address, Subnet mask etc.

You will firstly configure the DHCP server, then set the other PC on you network to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.

ON THE DHCP SERVER

1. From the start menu select Programs / Administrative Tools / DHCP

2. Right Click on server address in the Tree window and select New Scope

3. When the New Scope Wizard window appears, click on next

4. Enter a name (use your Group Number) and description for the new scope and click on next

5. Enter the IP address range of the new scope – Remember that this is the Range for the ‘Default VLAN’, the ‘Voice VLAN’ range is on the 3300!

• The Start Address will be 192.168.x.50 where x is the 3rd Octet in the ‘Default VLAN’ network address

• The End IP address will be 192.168.x 75

• Set the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and click on next

6. Click on Next on the Add Exclusions window and the Lease Duration Window.

7. On the Configure DHCP Options window select the No, I will configure these options later button and click on Next and then Finish.

8. To add the user assigned options right click on the server address in the Tree window and select Set Predefined Options – These Predefined options will provide the MITEL IP Sets with the information that they need to work.
