Installing and configuring the DHCP server

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a TCP/IP standard that facilitates the management of IP addresses and other client configuration options from a centralized location. Windows Server 2016 has a DHCP server role that enables administrators to manage IP addressing and networking configuration with ease, avoiding manual configuration, which minimizes errors, address conflicts, and repetitive tasks. To design highly-available automatic addressing, administrators have used the 80/20 rule, where two DHCP servers shared a scope in an 80:20 ratio. Since Windows Server 2012, the DHCP server role can also be highly available, not by splitting a scope but by enabling two DHCP servers to share a scope.
