Title: Module 5 Introduction
Course: CTS 2234 Server Operating Systems > Section: Module 5 - Configuring Network Addressing, and Deploying DHCP & DNS Services

All network attached devices including servers must possess a unique Internet Protocol or IP address before communications can be established. Most servers including Server 2012 support automatically assigned IP addresses to network devices known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP. In addition, in order to locate web sites and network resources over the Internet using a Universal Resource Locater or URL a special server role called DNS is required to host the name to IP address mappings. Server 2012 supports both DHCP and DNS services and an understanding of these services is critical to deploying servers or other network attached devices.

In this module you will design and implement an IP addressing architecture and install DNS services using records to locate Internet based resources or web pages.

Module Objectives

Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

- Implement network IP addressing and protocols
