Configuring DHCPv6 is an essential part of managing IP addresses on any network. It is the next generation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) that enables automatic allocation, configuration and management of IPv6 addresses. In this article, we will discuss how to configure DHCPv6 on Windows Server 2012. Before we can configure DHCPv6, we need to ensure that IPv6 has been enabled on the server. To do this, open the Network Connections panel in the Control Panel and right-click on the adapter that you want to configure. Select Properties and then check the box next to Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). Click OK. Once IPv6 is enabled, we can begin configuring DHCPv6. Open the DHCP Server console from the Tools menu in Server Manager. Right-click on the IPv6 node and select New Scope. This will open the New IPv6 Scope Wizard. Give the scope a name and description, then click Next. On the next page, you will be prompted to enter the range of IPv6 addresses that you wish to ...

 Implementing DHCPv4 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 4) is a process of configuring a network so that it can assign IP addresses to devices connected to it. This is done to simplify the process of managing IP addresses on a network. DHCPv4 is a protocol used to provide dynamic IP addressing to clients on a network. It is designed to automatically assign IP addresses to clients on a network without any manual configuration. This process is done through the use of a DHCP server. The DHCP server keeps track of the IP addresses that have been assigned to clients and ensures that they remain unique. In order to implement DHCPv4 on a network, the following steps must be taken: 1. Configure the DHCP Server The first step to implementing DHCPv4 is to configure the DHCP server. The DHCP server must be configured with the IP address range that it is responsible for, as well as other settings such as the lease time and renewal time of IP addresses. The DHCP server must also be co...
