Client Reservation An IP address that is reserved on the DHCP server for a specific client.  Whenever that client requests an IP address, DHCP will always assign it that same address.  Used when you have a Static IP address reserved, so that no other DHCP clients can use that address.
Scope Option (Local) A range of IP addresses, along with a set of configuration options that apply to all clients that receive IP addresses assigned to that scope. Changes made here affect only the highlighted scope.
Global Scope Option Global scope options automatically apply to all scopes on a DHCP server unless overwritten by a local scope.  Changes made here affect all scopes available in the DHCP Server.
Exclusions A list of IP addresses to be excluded from the IP address range identified in a DHCP scope. This option in DCHP scopes is Used when you have previously used IP addresses or have UNIX boxes.
DHCP Relay Agent A device that allows clients on one subnet to use the BootP relay service to access a DHCP server located on another subnet. Intercepts DCHP broadcasts and forwards the packets to the DCHP server.

Term Definition
Primary DNS Server A DNS Server can be setup to be a zone transfer server. Zone transfer will allow the DNS Server to query other DNS Servers if it is unable to resolve the request.
Secondary DNS Server Backup Zone Transfer server.  A Secondary DNS server uses Zone Transfers to collect the DNS database from it's Primary DNS Server.
Caching Only Server Does not store a permanent zone list. Caches resolved queries so it can resolve a second query to the same name immediately. Useful when placed at the ends of a slow WAN connection, because they can answerresolver requests but do not require zone database transfers. .
Cache File Contains IP addresses of the root name servers in a file named cache.dns
SOA Record The Start of authority (SOA) record specifies the domain for which a DNS server is responsible.  It also specifies a variety of parameters that regulate  operation of the DNS server. Contains the 3 types of resource records, which are CNAME, MX, and PTR.
Reverse Lookup File This file contains IP address-to-hostname mappings that are used when a program or user has only the IP address of a remote computer but needs the hostname associated with that IP address.  Reverse Lookup-records are used for IP address to name resolution in reverse lookup zones
Forwarder A DNS server that can communicate outside of the private network to resolve DNS name queries. Picks up broadcasts from clients and sends them to the DNS server.

Which results does the proposed solution produce?

A: The proposed solution produces the required results and none of the optional desired results.

197:  Fred manages a network that is comprised of four Windows NT Server computers, 80 Windows NT Workstation computers, 100 Windows 95 computers and eleven UNIX computers. Because his company frequently reorganizes, Fred often finds himself physically moving computers from one subnet to another. Only the UNIX computers never move. TCP/IP is the network's primary protocol. The UNIX computers have no hostnames that are longer than fifteen characters, and each hostname contains only alpha-numeric characters. One of the Windows NT Server computers runs DHCP with one scope configured for each subnet. All of the Windows-based computers are set up as DHCP clients.

Required results:
Every Windows-based computer on each subnet must be able to access the Windows NT Server computers by computer name.
Every Windows-based computer on each subnet must also be able to receive its IP addresses from the DHCP server.

Optional desired results:
All UNIX systems should access by hostname any Windows NT Server computer that is set up as an FTP server.
All Windows-based computers should access by hostname any UNIX computer that is set up as a Telnet or FTP server.
 
 

Proposed solution:
a. Set up the network routers to forward DHCP broadcasts to all subnets.
b. Install a WINS Server on the network.
c. Set up the DHCP server to supply all DHCP clients with the IP address of the WINS server.
d. On the DHCP server, exclude the IP addresses of the UNIX computers from the scopes.
e. Create a client reservation for the IP address of the WINS server.
f.  On the WINS server, make static mapping entries for the UNIX computers.

199:  Suppose the following situation exists Amanda's company is headquartered in Miami with a second office in Chicago. Both offices use TCP/IP as the networking protocol. The Miami office has ten Windows NT Server computers and 1,000 Windows NT Workstation computer clients. The Chicago office has two Windows NT Server computers and 225 Windows NT Workstation computer clients. The WINS server in Miami is called MIA; the WINS server in Chicago is called CHI. Amanda wants to set up WINS database replication between the two WINS servers.
 

Required result:
She must replicate the Miami WINS server database to the Chicago WINS server.

Optional desired results:
She wants to replicate the Chicago WINS server data to the Miami WINS server.
She wants to be sure that the Miami WINS database is replicated to Chicago at least once a day.

Proposed solution:
Configure Miami to push its WINS database update information to Chicago once every 1000 updates. Configure Chicago to pull Miami's WINS database update information once every 24 hours.

A: The proposed solution produces the required result and one of the optional desired results.

200:  Three servers, 40 NTW, Single network. Router connect to the network to an ISP. All computers on your network are DHCP, WINS and DNS clients. WINS and DNS servers are DHCP scope option. RAS - two modems.

Required :
Remote client must able to connect to shared resources on all computers on the company network.

Optional :
You want all data that is transferred accross the dial-up connection to be encrypted.
RAS must support two cuncurrent remote clients.

Proposed Solution :
a. Configure RAS to use a static address pool with two address for dial up networking clients.
b. Enable multilink on RAS server. Install PPTP on the RAS server and on the dial up networking clients.
c. Configure RAS to use DHCP to assign remote clients address.
d. Configure Dial-up networking client s to use a server assigned IP address.
e. Disable the Guest account on the RAS server.

A:  Produces required and one optional results.
