DHCP relay agent concept

DHCP relay agent is configured to provide ipaddress to different segments of network.

Ex: we have 2 segments 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1.. different network IDS.

One connecting to 192.168.1.1 and another card connecting to 192.168.2.1 network. When a client sends a broadcast for ipaddress the relay agent sends it to the DHCP server.

Open RRAS and ip routing, add new protocol, add dhcp relay agent
Add in the dhcp servers ipaddress

To view the DHCP server in a domain and which are authorized

Open command prompt:

netsh dhcp show server

What is round robin in DNS?


Round robin: enables us to set multiple records of a given host name. and distributes the ip address in order. 

Ex:
Create a host name in dns as www. www.izone.com with ipaddress as 192.168.1.100
Create the same hostname with 192.168.1.200
Create the same with 192.168.1.300

When we try to ping the www.zone.com

Reply's as 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.200, 192.168.1.300

Again ping www.izone.com
192.168.1.200, 192.168.1.300, 192.168.1.100

Again ping www.izone.com
192.168.1.300. 192.168.1.200, 192.168.1.300

So the order keeps on changing.
