You have an Exchange Server 2013 organization that contains two Mailbox servers named MBX1 and MBX2.
You create a database availability group (DAG) named DAG1. DAG1 is configured as shown in the exhibit.
(Click the Exhibit button.)
You need to ensure that replication only occurs over the replication network.
Which two commands should you run? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork ReplicationDagNetwork01 ReplicationEnabled $true
B.
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetworkMapiDagNetwork ReplicationEnabled $false
C.
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup Dag1 ManualDagNetworkConfiguration $true
D.
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup Dag1 ManualDagNetworkConfiguration $false
Explanation:
You need to ensure that replication only occurs over the replication network.
If you would like to ‘force’ replication to only go over the Replication Network, then you definately would like to
disable replication on the MAPI Network, but IF the NIC on the Replication Network goes down, it will start
replicating over the MAPI NIC.
There is no way of blocking that behaviour and isn’t what you’d want anyway since DAGs actually cope quite
fine with just 1 NIC.
DAG Networks
Each database availability group (DAG) network has several properties that you can configure, including the
name of the DAG network, a description field for the DAG network, a list of subnets that are used by the DAG
network, and whether the DAG network is enabled for replication.
You can configure a DAG network only when automatic network configuration has been disabled for a DAG.There are specific networking requirements that must be met for each DAG and for each DAG member. Each
DAG must have a single MAPI network, which is used by a DAG member to communicate with other servers
(for example, other Exchange 2013 servers or directory servers), and zero or more Replication networks, which
are networks dedicated to log shipping and seeding.
Although a single network is supported, we recommend that each DAG have at least two networks: a single
MAPI network and a single Replication network. This provides redundancy for the network and the network
path, and enables the system to distinguish between a server failure and a network failure. Using a single
network adapter prevents the system from distinguishing between these two types of failures.
MAPI
MAPI stands for Messaging Application Programming Interface, and it gives programs the ability to send email
using your email program to do the actual sending.
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
The Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet enables you to manage DAG properties that can’t be managed from
the Exchange Administration Center (EAC), such as configuring network discovery, selecting the TCP port used
for replication, and enabling datacenter activation coordination (DAC) mode.
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork
Use the Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork cmdlet to configure a network for a database availability group
(DAG).
You can configure a variety of network properties, such as the name for the network, a description of the
network, a list of one or more subnets that comprise the network, and whether the network is enabled for
replication (log shipping and seeding).
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet
are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they’re not included in the permissions
assigned to you.
C
Ensures that you can configure a DAG network by turning the automatic configuration off.
The ManualDagNetworkConfiguration parameter
Specifies whether DAG networks should be automatically configured. If this parameter is set to False, DAG
networks are automatically configured. If this parameter is set to True, you must manually configure DAG
networks.
You can configure a DAG network only when automatic network configuration has been disabled for a DAG.
Need to manually configure the DAG NETWORK
NOT D
Need to turn the automatic DAG configuration off.The ManualDagNetworkConfiguration parameter Specifies whether DAG networks should be automatically
configured. If this parameter is set to False, DAG networks are automatically configured. If this parameter is set
to True, you must manually configure DAG networks.
You can configure a DAG network only when automatic network configuration has been disabled for a DAG.
NOT A
Does not disable the replication over the MAPI network as required in this scenario
B
Disables replication over the MAPI network as required in this scenario
