You are the network administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All servers run Windows Server 2003. All client computers run Windows XP Professional.
The network consists of three physical subnets, which correspond to the three buildings on the company’s campus, as shown in the Network Diagram exhibit.
All servers have manually configured IP addresses. All client computers receive their TCP/IP configuration information from a DHCP server located on the Building1 subnet.
The DHCP server has one scope configured for each subnet. Users on the Building2 subnet and the Building3 subnet report that they periodically cannot connect to network resources located on any subnet.
You discover that during times of high network usage, client computers in Building2 and Building3 are configured as shown in the Network Connection Details exhibit.
You need to ensure that all client computers receive valid IP addresses for their subnet even during times of high network usage.
What should you do?
Exhibit:
A.
Configure an administrative template in the Default Domain Policy Group Policy object (GPO) to disable Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) on the client computers.
B.
Install one DHCP server on the Building2 subnet and one on the Building3 subnet. On each DHCP server, configure identical scopes for each subnet.
C.
Configure one DHCP relay agent on the Building2 subnet and one on the Building3 subnet to forward DHCP requests to the Building1 subnet DHCP server.
D.
Install one DHCP server on the Building2 subnet and one on the Building3 subnet. On each DHCP server, configure a single subnet-specific scope.
Explanation:
DHCP is a service that, when installed and configured correctly, will take a massive administration burden off any network administrator or engineer. DHCP works with the assignment of IP addresses on your network. In other words, when you want your network clients to communicate with any device on the network, they need to speak the same protocol and be assigned with a unique logical address. This address (called an IP address) allows for this. Scope is the pool of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on a given subnet that a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is configured to assign to clients when using the automatic or dynamic allocation method.
A subnet is a group of computers on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network that share a common network identifier. In some cases, a TCP/IP network is divided into multiple subnets by modifying the subnet mask and designating some of the host identifier bits as subnet identifier bits.Reference:
