a dhcp server.............
What is DHCP?Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.
DHCP assigns an IP address when a system is started, for example:
- A user turns on a computer with a DHCP client.
- The client computer sends a broadcast request (called a DISCOVER or DHCPDISCOVER), looking for a DHCP server to answer.
- The router directs the DISCOVER packet to the correct DHCP server.
- The server receives the DISCOVER packet. Based on availability and usage policies set on the server, the server determines an appropriate address (if any) to give to the client. The server then temporarily reserves that address for the client and sends back to the client an OFFER (or DHCPOFFER) packet, with that address information. The server also configures the client's DNS servers, WINS servers, NTP servers, and sometimes other services as well.
- The client sends a REQUEST (or DHCPREQUEST) packet, letting the server know that it intends to use the address.
- The server sends an ACK (or DHCPACK) packet, confirming that the client has a been given a lease on the address for a server-specified period of time.
When a computer uses a static IP address, it means that the computer is manually configured to use a specific IP address. One problem with static assignment, which can result from user error or inattention to detail, occurs when two computers are configured with the same IP address. This creates a conflict that results in loss of service. Using DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses minimizes these conflicts.

What is the motivation behind using a custom subnet mask versus the default subnet mask?
A default subnet mask gives you classful addressing on octet boundaries. A non-default subnet mask implies that you are subnetting a larger network into several smaller ones.
When a computer gives itself an auotmatic private ip address apipa it also includes a valid default gateway address?
When a computer assigns itself an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, it typically does not include a valid default gateway address. APIPA is used when a device fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, allowing it to communicate with other devices on the same local network segment. The assigned IP address falls within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, but without a default gateway, the device cannot access external networks, such as the internet.
Given class C address with a default subnet mask How many possible subnets and usable hosts if 4 bits were borrowed?
that gives you 16 subnets with 14 usable IPs for hosts that is because one is for subnet and one for broadcas in that subnet for example: 192.168.1.0/28 - subnet number 192.168.1.15 -broadcast number usable IPs for hosts - IPs between them that is 14
What is a dhcp server?
A DHCP Server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically gives network devices (computer, smart phone, etc.) the configuration information required to communicate on a network. The DHCP server will assign a device an IP address, a subnet mask and a default gateway. Some DHCP servers will also provide the network device with further configuration information such as the address of a DNS (Domain Name Server). When your computer or smart phone connects to a wireless network, it has most likely recieved is configuration from a DHCP server.
What is a bukkitserver in Minecraft?
This is the modified servers list for Minecraft Servers. The use of Bukkit / Craftbukkit will enhance the server with a lot of great features, to help give the server more options/functions and it gives an gateway for plugin designers to make even more crazy functionality to the game.
How do you lock your belkin54g wireless router so other users cannot access it?
open your browser and type in http://192.168.2.1 and this will open your router settings. go to the security tab and it will either come up with your security settings or ask you to login. if it asks for your password, the default belkin password is nothing. just click continue and your password setting will come up. from there you can change your password, encryption type, security mode and guest password.
If you have been assigned network ID 172.16.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 What is the maximum number of workstations you can have on the subnet?
Since this is a class B network you have borrowed 8 bits for subnets. This leaves 8 bits left (1 octet) for clients/workstations. That gives you a maximum of 254 clients per subnet.
How server is monitored?
server is monitored by the hotel manager and supervisor.. if the customer gives the order the server should respond to them properly..
What is DHCP scope and why it is required?
DHCP Gives four piece of information that are required in a network today. The four piece of information are IP address of computer , IP address of router , Subnet mask and IP address of name server. DHCP is a dynamic host configuration protocol and is backward compatible with BootP.

What is routed WAN?
Routed Mode is a semi-transparent choice where the network kit directly behind the Ecessa device continues to have an IP address from the WAN subnet designed on them. Routed Mode usually needs the least amount of configuration changes to the existing network equipment (the existing firewall, etc.) and can minimalize the amount of network downtime during the actual installation process. It is also reliant on the below criteria. There are two different ways to implement Routed Mode on the Ecessa. The first is: • Existing WAN subnet cover is at least 29 bits (/29 or 255.255.255.240) • Existing WAN has four contiguous addresses that fall inside a /30 • The gateway address on the firewall or the real gateway device address can be changed. However, these requirements make incompetent use of available IP addresses and create difficulty in completing changes to the WAN subnet mask info in the future (for example, if you change ISPs or obtain a new subnet from them). The second way is: • The ISP gives you 2 blocks of addresses: a /30 or a /29, & a second of varying size. • The ISP uses the /30 or /29 to the way the subnet of varying size to an IP that you allocate to the Ecessa device and then we configure the subnet of varying size on the LAN of the Ecessa.
