• Configuring IPAM Management Server Discovery

Exam Objectives

The following exam objectives are covered in this lab:

• Provisioning IPAM Using GPO
• Configuring Server Discovery
• Viewing IP Blocks and Range
• Configuring IPAM Management Server Discovery

Exercise 1 - Configuring IPAM

Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM) provides the framework for discovering, monitoring, auditing, and managing IP addresses and network infrastructure servers on a corporate network. IPAM provides the tools to perform network nodes planning, and to manage and monitor an IP address infrastructure.

In this exercise, you will activate a pre-built DHCP server on a domain controller and install the IPAM feature on a separate device.

Exercise 2 - Configuring IPAM Management Server Discovery

After successfully installing IPAM in the previous exercise, you will now configure management settings for the IP Address Management service. IPAM streamlines the administration of an IP address infrastructure by creating an integrated view of an organization’s DHCP and DNS servers. In this exercise, you will enable IPAM management server discovery and view the system settings of services such as the DNS and DHCP servers.
