Implementing IPv4 Network Services (N10-009)

Welcome to the Implementing IPv4 Network Services practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

The implementation of essential Internet Protocol (IP) services is critical. IPv4, the foundational protocol that has long been the backbone of the internet, continues to play a crucial role in aiding the communication between devices by assigning unique addresses to each one. As the demand for IP addresses grew exponentially, the adoption of IPv6 became increasingly important to address the limitations of IPv4 and ensure the continued expansion of the digital infrastructure. Additionally, services like Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) enhance network functionality by automating IP address allocation and translating user-friendly domain names into numerical IP addresses, respectively.

In this module, you will explore the implementation of DHCP, DNS records, and IPv6 in the network environment.
