Your company has one office in Montreal and one office in New York. Each office has 2,000 client
computers configured as DHCP clients. DHCP relay is not supported on the network routers. The
network consists of one Active Directory domain. You need to recommend a DHCP addressing
solution for both offices. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Minimize traffic between offices.
Be available if a single server fails.
What should you recommend?
A.
In each office, install a DHCP server that has two scopes.
B.
In each office, install a DHCP instance on a two node failover cluster.
C.
In the Montreal office, install a DHCP server. In the New York office, install a DHCP Relay Agent.
D.
In the Montreal office, install a DHCP instance on a two node failover cluster. In the New York
office, install a DHCP Relay Agent.
Explanation:
To configure a DHCP addressing solution for both the offices that would minimize the traffic
between the offices and is available in case any one of the DHCP server fails, you need to install a
DHCP instance on a two node failover cluster in each office, the head office and the branch office.
The two node failover cluster in each office will ensure that the DHCP server is always available even
if one of the DHCP servers fails. Because DHCP relay is not supported on the network, both the
offices need to have a separate DHCP failover clustering solution. Having two scopes of DHCP servers
will not help because DHCP relay is not supported on the network. Installing a DHCP server and
DHCP Relay Agent in the branch office and installing a DHCP instance on a two node failover cluster
and in the branch office and a DHCP Relay Agent will not help because this solution would increase
the traffic between the offices in case any one of the DHCP server fails.
