STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO INSTALL DHCP ROLE AND CONFIGURE
Let’s see how we can configure DHCP server in a Windows Server Environment. For the
demo I will be using Windows 2008 R2 Server.
To start first need to log in to the server with administrator privileges. Then start the
“server Manager” by clicking on “Server Manager” icon on task bar. Then go to “Roles”

multiple NIC with multiple IP you can add them also to serve DHCP clients.

Using the DHCP it is possible to even configure multiple Scopes configurations to the
network. In a network there can be different network segments. It is waste to setup
different DHCP servers for each segment. Instead of that it is possible to create different
Scopes to issue DHCP for them.
