DHCP

DORA

DHCP is short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

This protocol allows properly configured client
computers to obtain IP addresses automatically from a
DHCP server.
The IP information obtained might include the
following:
IP addresses
Subnet masks
Gateway addresses
DNS server addresses
Other advanced options

DHCP sessions use a four-step process known as

DORA.

DHCP Server

Adding DHCP Scopes

Discovery: The client computer broadcasts out to the

network in order to find a DHCP server.
Offering: The DHCP server sends out a unicast
offering of an IP address to the client computer.
Request: The client broadcasts to all servers that it
has accepted the offer.
Acknowledge: The DHCP server sends a final unicast
to the client that includes the IP information the client
will use.

DHCP utilizes ports 67 and 68.

Installing a DHCP server consists of the

following actions:
Installing the DHCP service
Configuring an IP scope
Activating the scope
Authorizing the server
Configuring advanced IP options (optional)

DHCP Confirmation Window

APIPA
APIPA can get in the way of a client obtaining
an IP address properly (e.g., when a client
attempts to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server, but the DHCP server is too
busy).
Remember that APIPA is used by Windows
machines when it cannot connect with a
DHCP server to get a dynamic address.

Disable APIPA

Terminal Services
Terminal Services, also known as Remote Desktop
Services, is a type of thin-client terminal server
computing.
It allows client computers to access and use
applications loaded on the server, as well as to
connect to and take control of a server.
Thin-client computers and PCs can connect to
servers running Terminal Services.
The service uses port 3389 and is also known as
Microsoft WBT Server. WBT stands for WindowsBased Terminal.

Remote Access Service

Remote Access Service

Remote Access Service (RAS) is grouping of

different hardware and software platforms to allow
remote access to another computer or network
device.
Originally used with dial-up services, Microsoft RAS
has morphed into RRAS, or Routing and Remote
Access Service.

Routing and Remote Access

IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a
protocol within the TCP/IP suite that
encrypts and authenticates IP packets.
It is designed to secure any application
traffic because it resides on the network
layer (or Internet layer, as TCP/IP
programmers refer to it).
This protocol is used in conjunction with
virtual private networks and is an integral
part of IPv6.

IPSec

DNS

There are three main protocols that IPSec uses to

perform its necessary functions:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a worldwide

service that resolves host names to IP addresses.
This facilitates proper communication between
computers. DNS servers communicate with each
other in a hierarchy in an effort to teach each other
their name resolutions.
DNS servers use inbound port 53 to accept name
resolution requests.

Security association (SA): This generates the

encryption and authentication keys that are used by
IPsec.
Authentication header (AH): This provides
connectionless integrity and the authentication of
data. It also provides protection versus replay
attacks.
Encapsulating security payload (ESP): This provides
the same services as AH but also provides
confidentiality when sending data.

WINS
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a
service that resolves NetBIOS names to IP
addresses.
It is Microsofts version of the NetBIOS
Name Service (NBNS) combined with a
name server.
