-
Not time dependent
-
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. For a limited periodExplanation
The IP address assigned to a client by a DHCP server is for a limited period of time. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. The IP address lease provided by the DHCP server is temporary and has a specific duration. After the lease period expires, the client may need to renew the lease or request a new IP address. Therefore, the IP assigned by the DHCP server is not permanent and is valid for a limited period.Rate this question:

DHCP client and servers on the same subnet communicate via _________
-
UDP broadcast
-
UDP unicast
-
TCP broadcast
-
TCP unicast
Correct Answer
A. UDP broadcastExplanation
DHCP clients and servers on the same subnet communicate via UDP broadcast. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that allows for broadcasting messages to multiple devices on a network. In the case of DHCP, the client sends a broadcast message requesting an IP address, and the server responds with a broadcast message containing the assigned IP address. This allows for efficient communication between clients and servers on the same subnet without the need for establishing individual connections.Rate this question:

After obtaining the IP address, to prevent the IP conflict the client may use _________
-
Internet relay chat
-
Broader gateway protocol
-
Address resolution protocol
-
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. Address resolution protocolExplanation
To prevent IP conflict, the client may use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). ARP is a protocol used to map an IP address to a physical (MAC) address on a local network. It allows devices to communicate with each other by resolving the IP address of a device to its corresponding MAC address. By using ARP, the client can ensure that there are no conflicts in IP addresses within the network, as each device will have a unique MAC address associated with its IP address.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Techniques applied to ensure the security of an existing DHCP infrastructureExplanation
DHCP snooping refers to techniques applied to ensure the security of an existing DHCP infrastructure. It is a security feature that helps prevent unauthorized DHCP servers from providing IP addresses to network clients. By snooping on DHCP messages and verifying the legitimacy of DHCP servers, it provides a layer of protection against rogue DHCP servers and potential network attacks. This helps maintain the integrity and security of the DHCP infrastructure within a network.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
If DHCP snooping is configured on a LAN switch, then clients having specific ______ can access the network.
-
MAC address
-
IP address
-
Both MAC address and IP address
-
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. Both MAC address and IP addressExplanation
If DHCP snooping is configured on a LAN switch, clients with specific MAC addresses and IP addresses can access the network. DHCP snooping is a security feature that prevents unauthorized devices from obtaining IP addresses from the DHCP server. By snooping on DHCP messages, the switch can verify the legitimacy of the MAC and IP addresses being used by clients. Therefore, both the MAC address and IP address are required for clients to access the network when DHCP snooping is enabled.Rate this question:

Your company has a main office. The main office is located in a building that has 10 floors. A datacenter on the ground floor contains a Windows Server 2012 failover cluster. The failover cluster contains a DHCP server resource named DHCP1. All client computers receive their IP addresses from DHCP1. All client computers are part of the 131.107.0.0/16 IPv4 subnet. You plan to implement changes to the network subnets to include a separate subnet for each floor of the office building. The subnets will connect by using routers. You need to recommend changes to the DHCP infrastructure to ensure that all of the client computers can receive their IP configuration by using DHCP. What should you recommend?
-
Install a remote access server on each floor. Configure a DHCP relay agent on each new DHCP server. Create a scope for each subnet on DHCP1.
-
Install a DHCP server on each floor. Create a scope for the local subnet on each new DHCP server. Enable DHCP Failover on each new DHCP server.
-
Configure each router to forward requests for IP addresses to DHCP1. Create a scope for each subnet on DHCP1.
-
Configure each router to forward requests for IP addresses to DHCP1. Create a scope for the 10.0.0.0/16 subnet on DHCP1.
Correct Answer
A. Configure each router to forward requests for IP addresses to DHCP1. Create a scope for each subnet on DHCP1.Explanation
To ensure that all client computers on each floor can receive their IP configuration by using DHCP, it is recommended to configure each router to forward requests for IP addresses to DHCP1 and create a scope for each subnet on DHCP1. By forwarding the requests to DHCP1, the DHCP server can assign IP addresses to the client computers on each floor. Creating a scope for each subnet on DHCP1 ensures that the IP addresses assigned are within the appropriate subnet range for each floor. This setup allows for centralized management of DHCP and ensures that all client computers can receive their IP configuration correctly.Rate this question:
