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.
