While Frank is out, I'm kind of filling in. (But no one can really fill Franks' shoes.)

Here is the Q of the Day:

Your company wants to deploy a network consisting of 10 servers and 200 clients. As a Network Administrator, it is your responsibility to plan for the network. You decide to implement a routed network and segment the network in two parts.

Required result: You are required to provide automatic IP address assignment to all client computers for less administrative burden.

Optional result 1: Clients on each segment should be able to get their IP address lease.

Optional result 2: Clients should be able to get IP address in case of DHCP server failure.

Suggested solution: Install DHCP server and configure clients to assign automatic IP address from that server. Install DHCP relay agent on the same server and configure it to take requests from DHCP clients on the segment other than where DHCP server is installed.

Which results does the suggested solution produce?

A.Suggested solution produces the required result and both optional results.

B.Suggested solution produces only the required result.

C.Suggested solution produces the required result and one of the optional results.

D.Suggested solution does not produce the required result.


Good luck! See you tomorrow!

I'll go with 'D' Required result is not fulfilled. Option 1 is not fulfilled.

i will go with C...

IP address managed to leasee out to 2 routed network but not the Dhcp failed redundancy..

So, 2nd option is out..

Assuming the required result is not concerned with DHCP going down, then I would choose C since the second optional requirement would not be met. The clients might self configure to an AIPA address if DHCP were down, but the 2 segments would not talk.

I will say D, as having the proxy on the same server means that only one subnet will have addresses. The whole idea of a proxy is to be placed on a subnet that has no dhcp server.

I assumed this is a multihomed server serving 2 subnets via 2 adapters. It would need routing enabled (which is not mentioned, so I might be inclined to agree with you on answer D now).

How about D?


A relay agent must be installed on a server located on the same segment as the clients it is intended to service. In this scenario, the relay agent is to be installed on a different segment from the one the intended clients are located on.

Actually I got to thinking about it and if the server were multihomed with an adapter on each subnet, why would it need DHCP relay? Would it not see the requests from both subnets? In any case, we are not told that it is a multihomed machine anyway, so this solution will not work.
So, I agree, answer is D.
(sometimes I tend to go way out in left field, as you may have noticed!)
