Blaine is the administrator on an intranet consisting of 14 Windows NT servers, 5 Linux
servers and 1,250 client machines. The client machines are currently able to access web
sites and information on the Internet, but are having difficulty accessing the intranet
servers. Blaine is running only TCP/IP and she has confirmed that each server has a static
IP address. Which step should Blaine take to solve this problem?
A.
Install a DHCP server and configure the scope to include the IP addresses of all
company servers.
B.
Install a DNS server and configure the scope to include the IP addresses of all
company servers.
C.
Install a DNS server and configure the scope to exclude the IP addresses of all
company servers.
D.
Install a DNS server and create entries for all company servers.
Explanation:
The client configurations appear to be correct, since they are working
with the Internet. Each Intranet server has a static IP address, so the addressing
structure is there. Most likely a DSN server is needed to translate those IP addresses
(on the internal servers) to a name. When accessing the Internet, DNS servers on the
Internet are probably being used. Now, DNS functionality needs to be brought onto
the local network for the internal servers.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Since the servers are properly addresses with a Static IP Address, having DHCPassign new
addresses will not have an effect. Because of the nature of servers, a server isbetter configure
with a Static address than a Dynamic Address (such as one provided byDHCP). Even with DHCP
assigning addresses, a DNS server is still needed. With DHCP,unless reservations are being
used, DNS would be needed even more, since the IPaddresses on the servers could change.
B: DNS servers don’t have scopes
C: DNS Servers don’t have scopes
