Which two network addresses are required to be static, non-dhcp addresses when using the Grid
Naming?

A.
GNS VIP Address

B.
SCAN VIP Address

C.
Node VIP Address

D.
Node Public Address

E.
Node Private Address

Explanation:
2.6.2 IP Address Requirements
Before starting the installation, you must have at least two network adapters configured on each
node: One for the private IP address and one for the public IP address.
You can configure IP addresses with one of the following options:
Dynamic IP address assignment using Oracle Grid Naming Service (GNS). If you select this
option, then network administrators assign static IP address for the physical host name and
dynamically allocated IPs for the Oracle Clusterware managed VIP addresses.

Implementing GNS
To implement GNS, you must collaborate with your network administrator to obtain an IP address
on the public network for the GNS VIP. DNS uses the GNS VIP to forward requests for access to

the cluster to GNS. You must also collaborate with your DNS administrator to delegate a domain
to the cluster. This can be a separate domain or a subdomain of an existing domain. The DNS
server must be configured to forward all requests for this new domain to the GNS VIP. Since each
cluster has its own GNS, it must be allocated a unique domain of which to be in control.

A is right. GNS VIP has to be static non-dhcp assigned by network admin
B is wrong. SCAN VIPs if using GNS, it can be dynamic. if not GNS, it is static and assigned
C is wrong. Node VIP if using GNS, it can be dynamic, if not GNS, it is static and assigned
D is right. Node public IP has to be static and assigned
E is wrong. Node Private IP if using GNS, it can be dynamic, if not GNS, it is static and assigned in /etc/hosts

So A.D. are correct.
