Your network has a main office and a branch office. The branch office has computers that run
Windows 7. A network administrator enables BranchCache in the main office. You run Netsh on your
computer as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
You need to ensure that other computers in the branch office can access the cached content on your
computer.
What should you do?
A.
Turn on Internet Information Services (IIS).
B.
Configure the computer as a hosted cache client.
C.
Configure the BranchCache service to start automatically.
D.
Modify the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security rules.
Explanation:
Distributed Cache Mode
Distributed Cache mode uses peer caching to host the branch office cache among clients running
Windows 7 on the branch office network. This means that each Distributed Cache mode client hosts
part of the cache, but no single client hosts all the cache. When a client running Windows 7 retrieves
content over the WAN, it places that content into its own cache. If another BranchCache client
running Windows 7 attempts to access the same content, it is able to access that content directly
from the first client rather than having to retrieve it over the WAN link. When it accesses the file
from its peer, it also copies that file into its own cache.
When you configure BranchCache in distributed cache mode, BranchCache client computers use the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for data transfer with other client computers. BranchCache client
computers also use the Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery) protocol when they
attempt to discover content on client cache servers. You can use this procedure to configure client
firewall exceptions to allow incoming HTTP and WS-Discovery traffic on client computers that are
configured for distributed cache mode.
You must select Allow the connection for the BranchCache client to be able to send traffic on this
port.
