You are the network administrator for Contoso, Ltd. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All servers run Windows Server 2003. All client computers run Windows XP Professional. The network also contains 10 network printers. All servers have manually configured IP addresses.
The client computers and network printers receive their TCP/IP configuration information from a DHCP server. Company IP policy states that each of the network printers will always be configured with the same IP address. You configure a DHCP server and create a DHCP scope as shown in the exhibit.
Users report that they cannot submit print jobs to any of the network printers. You investigate and discover that none of the network printers are receiving their IP addresses from the DHCP server. You need to ensure that the network printers receive their IP addresses from DHCP.
What should you do?
Exhibit:
A.
Delete the IP address exclusion range for the network printers from the DHCP scope.
B.
Enable address conflict detection on the DHCP server.
C.
Remove the IP address reservations for the network printers from the DHCP scope.
D.
Add the 009 LPR Servers option to the DHCP server options.
Explanation:
An exclusion range is a set of one or more IP addresses, included within the range of a defined scope that you do not want to lease to DHCP clients. Exclusion ranges assure that the server does not offer to DHCP clients on your network any addresses in these ranges. Therefore, you would want to perform the action described in ” A”, so that Company’s IP policy is adhered to.“A Composite Solution With Just One Click” – Certification Guaranteed 102 Microsoft 70-293 Exam
