Changes

There are various ways in which computers can be networked together. Some computer networks (such as computer labs) configure their workstations static IP addresses for security and to provide other interesting features such as WOL (Wake Up on Lan) which allows a signal from a computer system to remotely start all or specified workstations within the lab. Hot-spots (such as cafes or airport lounges) offer the ability for users to connect to the Internet via their mobile devices (such as smart phones). Finally there are hybrid solutions that may offer both fixed IP address (computer workstations) and allow for wireless connect to a smart-phone (like at your Seneca computer labs). DCHP (Dynamic Control Host Protocol) provides an IP address to be assigned to a client machine (such as a netbook, notebook, or smart phone) to connect to a computer network. In this final lab, you will learn how to setupset-up, and run a '''DHCP ''' server on your centos3 machine, and then test-out the DHCP server by setting up your other VMs to receive an IP addresses from the DHCP server.
