DHCP and IP Address Management
The DHCP server and the client use broadcasts to communicate with each other. Clients go through four
steps to obtain an address from a DHCP server.
Drag steps from the left pane to the right pane to arrange them in the order they occur when a client
obtains IP configurations from a DHCP server. Each step may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Rachel is a junior system administrator for a network with a single Active Directory domain. The network
has just expanded to include an additional subnet. Rachel has installed a new server running Windows
Server 2016 on the new subnet and configured it as a DHCP server.
When she checks the server icon in the DHCP Management console, she notices the server has a down
icon. The DHCP server service has started, but the server does not respond to DHCP lease requests.
What should Rachel do to solve the problem? - correct answer ✔✔Ask a member of the Enterprise
Admins group to authorize the server
You have a network with 50 workstations. You want to automatically configure workstations with the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway values.
Which device should you use? - correct answer ✔✔DHCP server
Nadine is the systems administrator for a network with a single subnet. The subnet uses 192.168.1.0
with a mask of 255.255.255.0. The network has 10 servers running Windows Server. Srv1 currently
provides both DHCP and DNS services.
,Nadine wants to increase the fault tolerance for her DHCP servers. She installs a new server, Srv11, and
configures it for DHCP. She configures a scope on Srv11 to match the scope on Srv1 and then excludes
half of the addresses in the scope on Srv1 and the other half of the addresses on the Srv11.
Nadine decides to test her solution and shuts down Srv1. As a test, she forces a workstation to release its
IP address and request a new one. She finds that the workstation has the IP address 169.254.0.15 with a
mask of 255.255.0.0.
What should Nadine do to fix the problem? - correct answer ✔✔Authorize Srv11
A workstation configured to use DHCP for IP addressing sends a DHCP Discover frame on the local
network segment. The frame is received by the DHCP service running on a Windows Server 2012 R2
system.
What happens next? - correct answer ✔✔The DHCP server responds with a DHCP Offer
You are a junior systems manager for your company's network. There are 600 workstations running
Windows 10, and they receive services from 20 Windows servers. The network is split into 10 subnets.
You've configured the DHCP service on 10 servers, one for each subnet. However, shortly after you finish
configuring the servers, your boss receives reports that workstations are not able to communicate
properly with other workstations. Your boss investigates and soon discovers that the subnet masks you
assigned in the DHCP scopes are incorrect. Your boss tells you to correct your error with the least
amount of administrative effort.
What should you do? - correct answer ✔✔Delete all of the scopes and start over
You have configured your organization's DHCP server to dynamically assign IP addresses to DHCP clients
using a lease duration of four days.
You are using a Windows server for DHCP, and the default lease time is eight days.
What impact, if any, will this have on the network? - correct answer ✔✔Increased network traffic
, You have a server named CorpNet_DHCP that runs Windows Server 2016 and has the DHCP Server role
installed on it. You have another server named CorpNet_WDS with the Windows Deployment Service
(WDS) server role installed.
Both servers are located on the same subnet as client computers. You need to make sure that clients can
perform a PXE boot from CorpNet_DHCP and install the image located on CorpNet_WDS.
Which two additional IPv4 options should you configure in DHCP? (Select two. Each answer is part of the
complete solution.) - correct answer ✔✔066 Boot Server Host Name
067 Bootfile Name
Drag the DHCP mechanism on the left to the appropriate description on the right. (Each mechanism can
be used once, more than once, or not at all.) - correct answer ✔✔Associates a client's MAC address with
an IP address the client should always receive
-Reservation
Specifies computers that can be DHCP server clients
-Filter
Ensures that a client always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server
-Reservation
Prevents the DHCP server from assigning certain IP addresses
-Exclusion
Specifies computers that cannot be DHCP server clients
-Filter
Identifies IP addresses within the range that cannot be assigned
