21 - Windows Server 2012 How to Set DHCP Reservation (Video in Khmer)

Hello my friend! Today I show you step-by-step how to Set DHCP Reservation on Windows Server 2012 R2 inside VMware! DHCP Reservation binds a specific IP address to a client computer's MAC Address. Every time that computer connects to network, DHCP server always assigns exact same IP address automatically! Follow steps below with video tutorial in Khmer! Let's get started!

💡 Tip: DHCP Reservation is super useful for network printers, manager laptops, and internal servers so they always keep fixed IP address without setting static IP manually on each device!

Step 1: Find Client MAC Address (Physical Address)

You can find client MAC address in 2 easy ways:

1. On Client PC: Open Command Prompt (cmd) > type getmac or ipconfig /all > note down Physical Address (example: 00-0C-29-8A-1F-3B).
2. On DHCP Server: Open DHCP Console (dhcpmgmt.msc) > expand Scope > click Address Leases > find client computer in list.

💡 Tip: Shortcut! In DHCP Console under Address Leases, right-click any active client PC and select Add to Reservation to convert lease to reservation instantly!

Step 2: Create New DHCP Reservation

1. Open DHCP Console (dhcpmgmt.msc) > expand your Scope.
2. Right-click Reservations folder > select New Reservation....
3. Fill in details:
   • Reservation name: Manager-PC or Network-Printer-01
   • IP address: 192.168.1.150
   • MAC address: 000C298A1F3B (type without hyphens or dashes!)
   • Description: Reserved IP for Manager PC
   • Supported types: Select Both
4. Click Add > click Close.

💡 Tip: When typing MAC address inside New Reservation window, enter numbers and letters together without dashes or colons (example: 000C298A1F3B)!

Step 3: Test DHCP Reservation on Client (ipconfig /renew)

1. Go to client computer > open Command Prompt (cmd).
2. Type command ipconfig /release > press Enter.
3. Type command ipconfig /renew > press Enter.
4. Type ipconfig to verify client receives exact reserved IP address (192.168.1.150)!

💡 Tip: If client PC does not receive reserved IP address, double-check if MAC address typed inside DHCP reservation matches client physical address exactly!
