    • Metroint for internal network

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Ad.metrotech.com for internal network
    A. Metrotech.com for perimeter network
    Explanation
    Ad.metrotech.com is ideal for the internal network as it provides the security of hiding the internal name space from the external world and yet retaining the actual company name space. Metrotech.com is ideal for perimeter network as it is directly interfaced with the outside world.

  • 18. 

    20/80 rule is an ideal formula for DHCP fault tolerance. T/F?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    To ensure DHCP fault tolerance across domains, you must employ the 80/20 method of splitting the scope or range of IP addresses between the available servers. This will ensure fault tolerance in the event of any one of the DHCP servers going down on the network.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Which of the following is the best method of IP address assignment in case of a private subnet containing 25 systems only?

    • 2 DHCP servers with 80/20 rule in place

    • 2 DHCP servers with 50/50 rule in place

    • Implement static IP address assignment

    • Implement APIPA.

    Correct Answer
    A. Implement static IP address assignment
    Explanation
    In a network that has only 25 systems, it is ideal to implement static IP assignment as it is easy to manage it that way. Multiple DHCP servers in this scenario would be beyond requirement.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which of the following could be issues when considering scaling the scope of a DHCP server?

    • Network requirement

    • Disk space limitation

    • Bandwidth limitation

    • Service pack on DHCP server

    Correct Answer
    A. Disk space limitation
    Explanation
    Ideally all scopes on the DHCP server will require some amount of disk space, Ram and in result paging files as well. If either of them starts becoming a limitation, the DHCP server may not be able to handle the request from the clients very efficiently.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    In a forest scenario in which the root domain has many levels of hierarchy beneath it and several clients per each domain in each level, it is ideal to implement centralized DHCP server for the entire forest at the root level. T/F?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This scenario calls for at least one DHCP server per domain per level.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Centralized DHCP servers with DHCP relay agents across location require a robust link in each location to keep the DHCP infrastructure functioning effeceintly. T/F?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Since the DHCP server is centralized it is mandatory to have robust links in each location to aid dynamic IP allocation for clients through DHCP relay agents in each location.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    When recursion is disabled on the DNS servers, which of the following types of queries will not be handled by that DNS server?

    • Iterative queries

    • Recursive queries

    • Cached queries

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Recursive queries
    Explanation
    One way of ensuring the DNS server does not handle recursive queries is to disable recursion on that DNS server. This is usually done on servers that are not meant to handle any queries for resolution outside of that domain.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    A Cache only DNS server can handle only iterative queries and not recursive queries. T/F?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A cache only DNS server can only cache already resolved DNS queries. It is not capable of resolving any type of fresh queries itself.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    If you do not want your DNS server to resolve queries but only accept queries from clients and pass it on to other DNS servers, which of the following must you configure it as?

    • Cache only DNS

    • Forwarder

    • Root DNS

    • Secondary DNS

    Correct Answer
    A. Forwarder
    Explanation
    Forwarders are those DNS servers that can accept query request from clients and forward those request to designated DNS servers that are meant to resolve queries.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    If a DNS has to resolve forwarded requests of specific domains only, which of the following has to be configured?

    • Forwarding

    • Conditional forwarding

    • Recursion

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Conditional forwarding
    Explanation
    If a DNS has to resolve queries of only specific domain then conditional forwarding will have to be configured.

    Rate this question:

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Vendor defined class
    Explanation
    There is no such thing as custom class. The vendor-defined class is usually used to assign dynamic IP addresses to resources from a specific vendor on the network.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. It needs to be authorized by the ADS
    Explanation
    Any DHCP server that needs to be assigning IP addresses on the ADS network needs to be authorized by the ADS.
