| 8- You are the administrator of your company's network. You want to install Windows 2000 Professional on 10 non-PXE-compliant computers that are on the marketing segment of your network. You start one of the computers by using a RIS boot disk. However, you cannot connect to the RIS server.
You verify that existing client computers on the network can connect to network servers, including the RIS server. You discover that the network router does not support BOOTP. You want to enable the new computers to connect to the RIS server.
What should you do?
select from the second pic. To answer, click the select and place button, and then drag the appropriate server to the place server here boxes on the network (Note: Both boxes must be filled. If a box does not require a server, use No server needed) | |

| you need the DHCP RELAY AGENT | |
|
| Place 1: No server is needed.
Existing clients are able to use RIS. There is therefore no need to install any services on the subnet which includes the Domain Controller, RIS server and DNS server.
Place 2: DHCP Relay Agent.
The router is not rfc 1542 compliant. It will not relay DHCP traffic. The new clients will not receive IP configurations and they are therefore unable to use the RIS service. We must therefore install a DHCP relay agent on the new subnet. The DHCP relay agent will enable the new clients to receive IP configurations and use
RIS. | |

| That's a goood one, Asadi.
BTW, what's the difference between a DHCP rver and a DHCP Relay Agent?
Thanks in advance  | |

| I really don't know what is the physically differences between DHCP Server and DHCP Relay Agent, I just know that we use DHCP Relay Agent on network which has not BOOTP compliant routers. We use it on the segments, which have not DHCP Server (as above question). So by adding a DHCP Relay Agent to the that segment the computers will be able to connect to the DHCP server and get their TCP/IP configuration. | |

I believe the reason is that the bootp function is to get the IP address from the DHCP server but if bootp is not available then the DHCP relay agent performs that function. If you can't get an IP address from the DHCP server then the RIS installation will not work. |
