=INVESTIGATION 1: INSTALL AND CONFIGURE A DHCP SERVER=
This lab will demonstrate setting up a DHCP server. The term '''DHCP''' stands for '''Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol'''. DHCP allows computers (eg. workstations, notebooks, smart-phones) to be automatically configured so that they can communicate over a network. This automatic configuration has gained popularity over the years, especially as the need for detecting and configuring portable computer devices increases. DHCP configuration allows for various setups including: '''Dynamic''', '''Automatic''', and '''Static''' allocation.
