Walkthrough: Demonstrate IPAM in Windows Server 2012 R2

 

Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2

IPAM in Windows Server® 2012 R2 provides a single console to plan, design and administer network services and IP address spaces, both physical and virtual. In this lab, you will learn more about how you can use IPAM in your organization to manage physical and virtual address space, delegate permissions in a multi-user environment, perform advanced DHCP configuration tasks, and leverage Windows PowerShell cmdlets for IPAM to automate routine operations.

Prerequisites

This lab has the following prerequisites:

Computer

Roles

Operating system

Notes

DC1

Domain controller, Active Directory-integrated DNS server, and secondary DHCP server.

Windows Server 2012 R2

The minimum required operating system to demonstrate DHCP failover is Windows Server 2012. You cannot install IPAM on a domain controller.

IPAM1

IPAM server and IPAM client.

Windows Server 2012 R2

IPAM1 must be running Windows Server 2012 R2 to demonstrate features in this lab.

DHCP1

Primary DHCP server.

Windows Server 2012 R2

The minimum required operating system to demonstrate DHCP failover is Windows Server 2012. Do not install IPAM on the same server with DHCP.

This computer is required to demonstrate DHCP failover but optional for other lab objectives.

Lab setup

The following table summarizes procedures used to configure this lab. Perform the procedures to configure DC1 first, DHCP1 second, and IPAM1 third. If you are not using DHCP1 to demonstrate DHCP failover operations then skip these procedures.

Computer

Procedures

DC1

  1. Assign an IP address and DNS server address of 192.168.0.1, a host name of DC1, then reboot.

  2. Install Active Directory Domain Services, DNS Server, and DHCP Server roles.

  3. Promote the server to a domain controller for the contoso.com domain. The computer will reboot automatically.

  4. Sign in as CONTOSO\Administrator.

  5. Complete DHCP configuration by authorizing the DHCP Server service in Active Directory.

  6. Create a new user account in contoso.com named user1.

DHCP1

  1. Assign an IP address of 192.168.0.2, a DNS server address of 192.168.0.1, a host name of DHCP1, join the contoso.com domain, and then reboot.

  2. Sign in as CONTOSO\Administrator.

  3. Install the DHCP Server role.

  4. Complete DHCP configuration by authorizing the DHCP Server service in Active Directory.

IPAM1

  1. Assign an IP address of 192.168.0.3, a DNS server address of 192.168.0.1, a host name of IPAM1, join the contoso.com domain, and then reboot.

  2. Sign in as CONTOSO\Administrator.

  3. Install the IPAM Server feature. IPAM Client will also be installed by default.

  4. Provision the IPAM server to use Windows Internal Database (WID) and Group Policy Based provisioning with a GPO name prefix of IPAM1.

  5. Use the Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning cmdlet to create IPAM GPOs. Confirm the GPOs were successfully created.

  6. Configure IPAM server discovery by adding the contoso.com domain, and then start server discovery.

  7. When the server discovery task has completed, view the server inventory and mark DC1 and DHCP1 as managed servers.

  8. Update Group Policy; verify that IPAM GPOs are applied, and that DC1 and DHCP1 are unblocked.

For detailed procedures to install and configure IPAM, see the Deploy IPAM. Detailed steps for installing and configuring DHCP, DNS, and IPAM are also provided in Walkthrough: Demonstrate IPAM in Windows Server 2012.

Note

Procedures used for installation of IPAM and provisioning of managed servers procedures are identical in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 when IPAM is used with Windows Internal Database (WID). In Windows Server 2012 R2, you can also use SQL Server 2012 to manage the IPAM database. This option is not demonstrated in this lab.

Objectives

Objective 1: Demonstrate role based access control and delegated administration

Concepts

Role based access control is new in IPAM in Windows Server 2012 R2. Role based access control is comprised of roles, access scopes, and access policies:

  • Roles: A role is a collection of IPAM operations. You can associate a role with a user or group in Windows using an access policy. Several built-in roles are provided, but you can also create customized roles to meet your business requirements.

  • Access scopes: An access scope determines the objects that a user has access to. You can use access scopes to define administrative domains in IPAM. For example, you might create access scopes based on geographical location. By default, IPAM includes an access scope of Global. All other access scopes are subsets of the Global access scope. Users or groups that are assigned to the Global access scope have access to all objects in IPAM that are permitted by their assigned role.

  • Access policies: An access policy combines a role with an access scope to assign permission to a user or group. For example, you might define an access policy for user1 with a role of IP Block Admin and an access scope of Global\Asia. Therefore, user1 will have permission to edit and delete IP address blocks that are associated to the Asia access scope. This user will not have permission to edit or delete any other IP address blocks in IPAM.

Procedures

  1. Create a new DHCP Scope named Lab DHCP Scope

  2. Create a second DHCP Scope named Contoso DHCP Scope

Objective 2: Manage DHCP policy based assignment with IPAM

Concepts

DHCP Policy Based Assignment (PBA) is a powerful feature for IPV4 networks that was first introduced in Windows Server 2012 for the DHCP server role. PBA enables control over the network and the devices accessing it. DHCP policies can be used to identify and group together devices based on attributes like MAC Address, Vendor Class and User Class. You can then control the leases and DHCP options that are assigned to these devices. For example, you can use DHCP policies to match the MAC address of clients and thus ensure that all virtual machines accessing your network are assigned addresses from a specific IP address range, or are assigned specific DHCP options.

DHCP policies can be configured at server level or the scope (subnet) level. Previously, policies were accessible only for individual DHCP servers by using the DHCP management console or with Windows PowerShell. Using IPAM in Windows Server 2012 R2, you can create and manage policies centrally across multiple DHCP servers. You can create a policy for multiple servers or scopes in a single operation. You can also copy policies from one server or scope to another.

The following procedures demonstrate how IPAM enables you to centrally manage DHCP policies in an efficient manner.

Procedures

  1. Configure new DHCP policies and import existing DHCP policies

  2. Manage existing DHCP policies in IPAM

Objective 3: Automate IP address lifecycle management

Concepts

New Windows PowerShell cmdlets for IPAM make it easier to automate IP address lifecycle management. A rich set of cmdlets are available that enable you to perform all management functions for your IP addresses, ranges and blocks. You can leverage these cmdlets to write scripts and integrate IPAM with various physical and virtual devices or servers. This saves time, eliminates manual intervention, and reduces operating cost.

Procedures

  1. Create an IP address range in IPAM

  2. View IP address ranges in IPAM

  3. Track utilization of IP ranges

  4. Find a free IP address and assign it to a new printer

  5. Deprovision the added printer and reclaim the IP address

Create an IP address range in IPAM
  1. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>Add-IpamRange –NetworkId 192.168.0.0/24 –StartIPAddress 192.168.0.1 –EndIPAddress 192.168.0.254 -CreateSubnetIfNotFound
    

    This command creates an IP address range for servers in the test lab. Also use the next command to add individual IP addresses for the three computers used in this lab.

  2. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>Add-IpamAddress –IpAddress 192.168.0.1
    PS C:\>Add-IpamAddress –IpAddress 192.168.0.2
    PS C:\>Add-IpamAddress –IpAddress 192.168.0.3
    
View IP address ranges in IPAM
  1. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>Get-IpamRange –AddressFamily IPv4 –AddressCategory Private
    
  2. Verify that the IP address range that was recently added is displayed. Also try specifying an AddressCategory of Public to view the two public IP address ranges used for DHCP scopes.

  3. To view more detailed information, type the following commands at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>$a= Get-IpamRange –AddressFamily IPv4 –AddressCategory Private
    PS C:\>$a[0]|fl *
    
Track utilization of IP ranges
  1. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>Get-IpamRange –AddressFamily IPv4 –AddressCategory Private|where-object {$_.PercentageUtilized –gt 80}
    

    This command will display IP address ranges where the utilization is over 80%.

  2. Type the following commands at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\> Get-IpamRange –AddressFamily IPv4 –AddressCategory Private|where-object {$_.PercentageUtilized –gt 80}|Export-Csv –Path “C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\OverUtilizedRanges.csv” –NoTypeInformation -Force 
    PS C:\>notepad “C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\OverUtilizedRanges.csv”
    

    This will open a notepad file containing all the over-utilized public IPv4 address ranges (currently blank).

  3. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\> Get-IpamRange –AddressFamily IPv4 –AddressCategory Private|where-object {$_.Overlapping –eq “True”}
    

    The previous command will display any overlapping IP address ranges, if they exist.

Find a free IP address and assign it to a new printer
  1. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>$range = Get-IpamRange –StartIPAddress 192.168.0.1 -EndIPAddress 192.168.0.254 
    PS C:\>Find-IpamFreeAddress –InputObject $range -TestReachability
    
  2. Confirm that the first available IP address is 192.168.0.4.

  3. Type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:>$range = Get-IpamRange –StartIPAddress 192.168.0.1 -EndIPAddress 192.168.0.254 
    PS C:\>$freeip = Find-IpamFreeAddress –InputObject $range –TestReachability 
    PS C:\>$ip = Add-IpamAddress –IpAddress $freeIp.Address –ManagedByService $range.ManagedByService –ServiceInstance $range.ServiceInstance –DeviceType Printer –AssignmentType Dynamic –MacAddress ”AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF” –ReservationServer $range.DhcpServerName –ReservationName “B3_F1_Printer_HP” –ReservationType Both –ReservationDescription “Reservation for printer on first floor of building 3” -PassThru 
    PS C:\>$ip|fl *
    
  4. Verify that the 192.168.0.4 IP address is assigned to a printer.

In this case, the IP address range does not correspond to a DHCP scope it is not possible to add this reservation to a DHCP scope. If this scope were present on DC1 or DHCP2, you can use the Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation cmdlet to add this IP address. See the following example:

PS C:>Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation –ComputerName $ip.ReservationServer –IPAddress $ip.IPAddress –ClientId $ip.MacAddress –ScopeId $ip.ReservationScopeDetails –Name $ip.ReservationName –Description $ip.ReservationDescription -PassThru

Use the following command to delete the reservation:

PS C:\> Remove-DhcpServerv4Reservation –ComputerName $ip.ReservationServer –IPAddress $ip.IPAddress -PassThru
Deprovision the added printer and reclaim the IP address
  1. To delete the IP address from IPAM, type the following command at a Windows PowerShell prompt and press ENTER:

    PS C:\>Remove-IpamAddress –InputObject $ip -Force

  4. Click OK and verify that the remaining scope was deleted from DC1.

  5. Click Close and verify that the failover relationship was deleted.

Objective 5: Manage DHCP MAC address filters with IPAM

Concepts

Media access control (MAC) address based filtering or link layer-based filtering for DHCP enables you to control network access based on MAC addresses, providing a low-level security method. You can create MAC address based filters to specify which MAC addresses are allowed on the network and which are denied access.

A DHCP server maintains Allow and Deny lists of MAC addresses. If you add MAC addresses to the allow list and enable the list, only these MAC addresses will be granted an IP address by the DHCP server. If you add MAC addresses to deny list and enable the list, these MAC addresses will be denied service by the DHCP server. You can enable both allow and deny lists, in which case the deny list takes precedence. This means that the DHCP server provides DHCP services only to clients whose MAC addresses are in the allow list, provided that no corresponding matches are in the deny list.

You can use wildcards to allow or deny network access based on vendor MAC prefixes. Link layer filtering is currently available for IPv4 address only.

This section demonstrates how IPAM allows you to centrally manage MAC address filters.

Procedures

  1. Add DHCP MAC address filters

  2. Manage DHCP MAC address filters in IPAM

  2. Verify that the Filter Type changes to Allow.

  3. Right-click the filter and then click Delete.

Objective 6: Manage DHCP superscopes with IPAM

Concepts

Consider the scenario where the available IP addresses in currently active scopes are nearly depleted, but more computers are expected to be added to the network. In this scenario, you can use superscopes to allow a DHCP server to provide leases to clients from more than one scope on a single physical network. DHCP scopes in the same superscope can share IP addresses and gives leases to clients on each other’s subnet.

Superscopes can also help you resolve deployment issues such as migrating clients to a new scope (for example, when renumbering the network). Superscopes are available for IPv4 address only.

This section demonstrates how IPAM enables you to create and manage DHCP superscopes.

Procedures

  1. Adding scopes to a superscopes

  2. Manage DHCP superscopes

Adding scopes to a superscopes
