You are the administrator of your companys network. Your network is configured to use DHCP to automate the TCP/IP configuration of all client computers on your network. All client computers are running windows 2000 professional. Your network contains 3 subnets and contains a BOOTP enabled router. This 3 subnets are connected via a rfc 1542 compliant router. Users on subnet B and sunbet C report that they periodically cannot access network resources. During times of high network usage, client computers on the remote subnets are being configured with an addresses in the network address range of 169.254.0.0 which is not a valid address range on your network. You want to ensure that all client computers receive TCP/IP information from the DHCP and are not configured with invalid address information. What should you do?

1. Install a DHCP server on each remote
subnet and configure identical scopes on
each DHCP server

2. Install a DHCP server on each remote
subnet and configure a subnet specific
scope on each DHCP server

3. Install a DHCP relay agent on each remote
subnet.

4. Create an administrative template entry
in Group Policy to enable automatically
private IP addressing (APIPA) in the
registry of each client computer

I would do option 2.

I'd go will the DHCP Relay Agent. All the questions I've seen like this always involve a Relay Agent.

BTW I passed this test last Wednesday, no score given (VUE).

Good Luck

read the question, i didnt really know the answer myself so i ask for an explanation to my friend Slinky, i coute what he wrote to me "The question stated that the subnets were connected by a BOOT-P (RFC 1542) compliant router. That means that DHCP broadcasts are able to pass through the routers, therefore you don't need a relay agent on any of the subnets. If you didn't have a router that supported that, then you would need relay agents."

these might help you out, to find what the answer is.

My answer is 2. The subnets are separated by rfc 1542 compliant/BootP routers therefore DHCP broadcasts can pass thru. This eliminates answer 3. You don't want the client computers to have a 169.254.0.0 address so that eliminates answer 4. That only leaves 2 viable answers 1 and 2. Of those you do not want each DHCP server to be handing out identical IP address to each subnet so that eliminates answer 1. Thus I arrived at answer 2.

Thats what you whant to see on these forums someone that not only gives the answer but explains why so other people can learn from them


Congratulations aklab and slinky. You both get it right.

I agree with the reasoning for #2. I should have read the question closer. Glad I didn't have that one on the test, haha.

WE HAVE TO READ THE QUESTION TWICE BEFORE ANSWERING THEM.

I say 2
reasons
since the routers forward bootP a relay agent won't add anything to the mix.
Since the problem is really intermitant network congestion placing a local DHCP will result in faster IP assignment and less traffic over the routers solving one problem and mitigating another.

Good luck. see my other thread
maybe youll like to try it out.
