This chapter presents an exercise that demonstrates how to configure the most common CDDM services. The exercise consists of the following steps:
Step 1 Creating the test domain using the DNM Browser (see "Create the Test Domain")
Step 2 Configuring the DNS server as a secondary name server for the test domain (see "Configure the DNS Server as a Secondary Name Server for the Test Domain")
Step 3 Configuring the Syslog service for troubleshooting DHCP and BootP service (see "Configure the Syslog Service")
Step 4 Configuring the DHCP service (see "Configure the DHCP Service")
Step 5 Managing the DNM server via the DHCP server (see "Configure the DHCP Server to Update DNS")
Step 6 Configuring the BootP service (see "Configure the BootP Service")
Use the DNM Browser to create and propagate the yoyodyne.com domain:
Step 1 Start the DNM Browser from the command line.

| ds | 10.1.1.1 | DNS server |
| gw | 10.1.1.254 | Default gateway |
| sm | 255.255.255.0 | Subnet mask |
(c) Modify the "static2" entry's option tags as follows:
| Option Tag | Value | Description |
| ip | 10.1.1.17 | IP address |
| ha | 018002010203 | Hardware address |
| ht | 1 | Hardware address type |
| tc | subnet | Inherit values from subnet entry |
(d) Delete the sm, gw, and ds tags from the "static2" entry, as they will be inherited from the subnet entry. To delete a tag, clear the option tag's check box.
(e) Make sure "subnet" appears before "static2" in the Entries list. If necessary, select the "subnet" entry, then click on the "up" arrow button to move the entry up the list.
