# Set up DNS and DHCP applications and workloads in your CloudSimple Private Cloud
14+
15+
Applications and workloads running in a Private Cloud environment require name resolution and DHCP services for lookup and IP address assignment. A proper DHCP and DNS infrastructure is required to provide these services. You can configure a virtual machine to provide these services in your Private Cloud environment.
16+
17+
## Prerequisites
18+
19+
* A distributed port group with VLAN configured
20+
* Route setup to on-premises or Internet-based DNS servers
21+
* Virtual machine template or ISO to create a virtual machine
22+
23+
## Linux-based DNS server setup
24+
25+
Linux offers various packages for setting up DNS servers. Here is an [example setup from DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-bind-as-a-private-network-dns-server-on-centos-7) with instructions for setting up an open-source BIND DNS server.
26+
27+
## Windows-based setup
28+
29+
These Microsoft topics describe how to set up a Windows server as a DNS server and as a DHCP server.

32+
* [Windows Server as DHCP Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/networking/technologies/dhcp/dhcp-top)

For administrative access to your Private Cloud vCenter, you can temporarily escalate your CloudSimple privileges. Using elevated privileges, you can install VMware solutions, add identity sources, and manage users.

# Escalate CloudSimple privileges to perform administrative functions in Private Cloud vCenter
14+
15+
The CloudSimple privileges approach is designed to give vCenter users the privileges they need to perform normal operations. In some instances, a user may require additional privileges to perform a particular task. You can escalate privileges of a vCenter SSO user for a limited period.
16+
17+
Reasons for escalating privileges can include the following:
18+
19+
* Configuration of identity sources
20+
* User management
21+
* Deletion of distributed port group
22+
* Installing vCenter solutions (such as backup apps)
23+
* Creating service accounts
24+
25+
> [!WARNING]
26+
> Actions taken in the escalated privileged state can adversely impact your system and can cause your system to become unavailable. Perform only the necessary actions during the escalation period.
27+
28+
From the CloudSimple portal, [escalate privileges](escalate-private-cloud-privileges.md) for the CloudOwner local user on the vCenter SSO. You can escalate remote user's privilege only if additional identity provider is configured on vCenter. Escalation of privileges involves adding the selected user to the vSphere built-in Administrators group. Only one user can have escalated privileges. If you need to escalate another user's privileges, first de-escalate the privileges of the current users.
29+
30+
Users from additional identity sources must be added as members of CloudOwner group.
31+
32+
During the escalation period, CloudSimple uses automated monitoring with associated alert notifications to identify any inadvertent changes to the environment.
