Popperly managing your Network Configuration
December 29th, 2009
Network configuration is a vital aspect to the proper operation of any given network infrastructure. Administrators must be able to configure IP addresses and at the same time other configuration information as well, such as options configured by using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP or the Windows Time Service. These type of services offer administrators measurable solutions to configure client computers within the network.
Every device on a TCP/IP-based network should have a unique unicast IP address to be able to access the network and its resources. Without a DHCP, IP addresses must be configured manually on each computer on the network, changes must be tracked so that unused addresses can be reused by other computers and the computers must be manually reconfigured every time they move between subnets.
Network configuration is an important factor in maintaining, repairing and overhauling different computer systems and in making sure that all workflow is in its place.
