DHCP - CameronProvost/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

To enable DHCP within my SYS265 environment I decided to use the DHCP service implemented with pfsense.

Step 1. Within pfsense seclet services -> DHCP Server

Step 2. Enable DCHP by checking the box at the top of the screen.

Step 3. Set the range for obtainable IP addresses. In my case it was 10.0.5.150-175.

Step 4. Set the DNS servers. In my case it was 10.0.5.5.

Step 5. Save the settings and DHCP is implemented.

Then to allow my workstation to use DHCP I changed the ipv4 settings to obtain and address automatically. When everything was done I checked my results with an ipconfig command that shows the workstation is using DHCP.
