2. Configure APP1. APP1 is already a member server computer that is configured with IIS and also acts as a file server. For the DHCP failover test lab, APP1 must be configured as a DHCP server. 3. Configure DC1. DC1 is already configured as a domain controller, DNS and DHCP server for the Corpnet subnet. For the DHCP failover test lab, DC1 must be configured in a failover relationship with APP1. 4. Demonstrate DHCP failover using CLIENT1. CLIENT1 is a client computer running Windows 8 Consumer Preview. For the DHCP failover test lab, CLIENT1 will be used to test and demonstrate failover operation. This guide provides steps for configuring the computers of the Base Configuration test lab, configuring DHCP server failover, and demonstrating DHCP client operation. The following sections provide details about how to perform these tasks. Step 1: Set up the Base Configuration Test Lab Set up the Base Configuration test lab for the Corpnet subnet using the procedures in the “Steps for Configuring the Corpnet Subnet” section of the . Connect DC1, APP1, and CLIENT1 to the Corpnet subnet. Step 2: Configure APP1 APP1 configuration for the DHCP failover test lab consists of the following procedure: Install the DHCP Server role The following section explains this procedure in detail. Install the DHCP Server role on APP1 Configure APP1 as a second DHCP server in the Corpnet subnet. Install the DHCP server role, but do not create a scope. The scope settings will be deployed as part of failover configuration in Step 3. To install the DHCP Server role on APP1 In the Dashboard console of Server Manager, under Configure this local server, click Add roles and features. Click Next three times to get to the server role selection screen.
