While monitoring the local area network Reema notices many broadcasts from Windows
machine trying to discover server names on the Windows network. These broadcasts are
consuming a high percentage of bandwidth. Which of the following services should
Reema implement to reduce the number of broadcasts?
A.
DNS with no options enabled.
B.
DHCP.
C.
RIP.
D.
WINS.
Explanation:
The use of broadcasts to discover servers is caused by the processing
of NETBIOS name queries. These broadcasts can be reduced and eliminated
through the proper installation and use of WINS.
Incorrect Answers:
A: To allow DNS to help here, an option in Windows NT needs to be turned on that saysto use
DNS to resolve NETBIOS calls. Since we are not turning on any options, DNSwould not be used,
so DNS will not help.
B: DHCP assigned IP addresses. It will not help in reducing any broadcasts. The clientswill still
need to find the servers, and DHCP does not help nor take part in the process.
C: RIP is a routing protocol, which is used to help build routing tables dynamically. RIPdoes not
take part, no affects the name resolution process of NETBIOS.
