Summit WM, Getting Started Guide
This chapter describes how to configure DHCP, DNS and IAS services on
Windows 2003 Server. In addition, the chapter explains how to configure DHCP
service on a Linux-based server.
Note that your Windows 2003 or Linux server may have a different configuration
process than what is described here. You must refer to your manufacturer's
document to know the configuration process that is specific to your server.
The configuration processes described in this chapter should be used as
examples.
The topics in this chapter are organized as follows:
•
DHCP service configuration
•
IAS service configuration
•
DNS service configuration
Before you can configure the DHCP service, you must install it on the server.
DHCP is not installed by default during a typical installation of Windows Standard
Server 2003 or Windows Enterprise Server 2003. You can install DHCP either
during the initial installation of Windows Server 2003 or after the initial installation
is completed.
You must also install 078 SLP DA Option. The 078 SLP DA Option is not
installed by default during a typical installation of DHCP service.
