Indicate whether the statement is true or false, and explain why.

1.The DHCP Server service is installed on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 by default.
2.A DHCP server can automatically deliver default gateway information.
3.The overall process to lease an IP address is composed of two packets.
4.A Windows client will attempt to renew its lease after 75% of its lease time has expired.
5.A DHCP service must be authorized.
6.In order to configure a reservation in the DHCP service, the MAC address of the client computer for which the address
is being reserved must be known.
7.It is quite common that all workstations within an entire organization use the same DNS servers.
8.A vendor class is defined by the network administrator.

Complete the statement or answer the question.

9.APIPA addresses come from which address range?

10.What is the default IP lease period for a DHCP server running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003?

11.When a Microsoft Windows XP client that is configured to use a DHCP server initializes, what type of
message will it broadcast first?

12.From a DHCP server, a client receives an address that has a lease period of 10 days. At what point will the
client first attempt to renew the lease?

13.When a DHCP-enabled client is unable to contact a DHCP server and begins using an APIPA address, how
often will the client try to contact a DHCP server again?
14.An administrator has configured a DHCP server on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server
2003 in an Active Directory domain. A scope has been configured that has a valid range of addresses
from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254. DHCP-enabled clients begin to initialize, and all receive
addresses beginning with 169.256.x.x. What is the most likely problem?

15.A valid range of addresses and associated configuration options that a DHCP server is configured to assign to
DHCP-enabled clients is referred to as a what?

16.If a client on a routed network is not on the same segment as the DHCP server, what can be configured to
allow the client to obtain DHCP addressing information from the DHCP server?

17.A network administrator configures a DHCP server that has a scope of addresses 172.16.1.0-255. The first 10
addresses in this range were previously assigned to servers and print devices that require static IP
address configuration. What will happen if the administrator does nothing further?

What must the administrator do to prevent DHCP from assigning addresses that have already been
statically assigned?

18.A network administrator has a single Class C address space, which is 194.10.10.0. The network consists of
150 users who are logged on to the network at all times as well as 150 sales users who have portable
computers and who are periodically logged on to the network for short intervals. What
recommendation would you make with regard to the lease period?

19.You administer a network that has 75 client computers configured to dynamically receive IP address
configuration. The DHCP server has been configured using a DHCP scope with a configured IP
address range of 170.34.32.1-.255 / 24. The network consists of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003
domain and Microsoft Windows XP clients configured as DHCP clients. Users of the client
computers cannot access other computers or resources on the network. Other scopes on this server
work. What should you do to solve the problem?

20.While creating a DHCP scope, you create an exclusion range for the IP addresses of the printers on your
network. You also create client reservations for each printer. None of the printers receives an IP
address from DHCP. What should you do to solve the problem?

21.You configure a DHCP scope with a 15-day lease period and a 21-bit subnet mask. How can you change the
lease period so that it is unlimited with the least amount of administrative effort and DHCP server
downtime?

22.DHCP was derived from which protocol?

23.You add new (additional) computers to your DHCP-enabled network; soon after, you discover that, after
reboots, your users have occasional problems accessing resources on the network using TCP/IP.
What should you do to solve this problem?

24.You are the network administrator for Happy-Day Toys. Your network consists of 85 desktop client
computers and 55 portable computers, all of which run on Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
Only 20 of the users of the portable computers are ever in the office at the same time. Happy-Day
Toys purchased a subnetted Class B address space with a 25-bit mask. All users require Internet
access while in the office. How should you configure DHCP? (Hint: class)

25.You are the administrator of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network. The network consists of two
Windows Server 2003 computers named Waycross and Brunswick and 275 Microsoft Windows XP
Professional computers. Toledo is a DHCP server. The DHCP server provides the TCP/IP
configuration for all Microsoft Windows XP computers. Waycross and Brunswick have manually
configured IP addresses. Waycross frequently hosts multicast-based video and audio conferences.
You want to dynamically allocate multicast addresses. (This is the key.) How should you configure
the network?

26.When would a client computer receive a DHCPNACK message?

27.You are the administrator of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network that consists of two subnets that are
connected by a router. The Active Directory service is implemented on the network. The DHCP
server is installed on subnet 1, and the DHCP relay agent has been enabled on subnet 2. Clients on
subnet 1 receive the correct IP configuration, but clients on subnet 2 receive addresses in the
169.254.x.x range with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. What is the most likely reason that clients on
subnet 2 are not receiving the correct configuration?

28.As a network administrator, you are deploying DHCP on your Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network.
You want to ensure that all of your print devices receive the same IP address each time they
initialize. What should you do to ensure that DHCP assigns the same address to the print devices?

29.You are a network administrator and you have statically assigned IP addresses to each of your network
servers. What should you do to ensure that DHCP does not assign the addresses you have statically
assigned to the network servers?

30.You must deploy DHCP on your network. The network has three physical segments that are separated by a
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 server that is configured to act as a router. You configure three
subnets, or multinets, using the following range of addresses:
Subnet 1: 10.16.1.0 through 10.16.1.254
Subnet 2: 10.16.2.0 through 10.16.2.254
Subnet 3: 10.16.3.0 through 10.16.3.254
What would be the best way to define the three address ranges on the DHCP server?

31.You are the administrator of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network. The network consists of two
Windows Server 2003 computers, named server 1 and server 2, and 200 Microsoft Windows XP
Professional client computers. Server 2 is a DHCP server that provides the TCP/IP configuration of
all the Windows XP Professional computers. Server 1 frequently hosts multicast-based video and
audio conferences. Several clients report that they do not receive any multicast communications.
You ask your assistant to troubleshoot this problem by using the Ipconfig command on one of the
client computers to verify that the client is receiving a multicast address from the DHCP server. An
IP address from what range of addresses would indicate that the client is receiving a multicast
address from the DHCP server?

32.You are a network administrator and have been asked to configure a DHCP relay agent. What option in
Administrative Tools would you use to complete this task?

33.Your Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network has 100 clients and uses DHCP with a scope that is
configured to issue an internal address in the range of 192.18.1.0 through 192.168.1.254. You have
been asked to set the DCHP lease period to the longest possible setting. What should you do? Why?

39. What is DHCP?

40.The source IP address in a DHCPDISCOVER packet is ____________________.

41.The DHCPREQUEST packet is addressed to the broadcast IP address ____________________.
42.Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 uses the command _______________________________ to force the release of a DHCP
address.
43.If a DHCP server cannot be contacted, what will the client machine do? (It will do (1) unless an (2) is configured.)

44.A(n) ______________ is used to define a range of IP addresses for the DHCP server to hand out to client computers.

45.What can be configured that keeps specific IP addresses or IP ranges from being leased within a scope?

46. What does a DHCP relay agent do?

47.At what point can a client begin using a leased IP address it received from a server?
48.The DHCP lease process requires the exchange of four different message types. What are the four message
types that are exchanged during a successful lease process?

49.The client reservation is one of the DHCP configuration parameters that can be configured. This process
assigns the same IP address to a specified client each time the client initializes. What two pieces of
information must the administrator supply to configure a client reservation?

1. ________________________________ and 2. ___________________________________

50.What are four key benefits of managing IP address configuration using DHCP?

51. What two message types are exchanged during the DHCP lease renewal process?

52.Give two solutions that would allow DHCP clients on separate segments to receive IP addressing
information from a DHCP server?

53.You administer a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network with the Active Directory service deployed
(think domain). You would like to use DHCP to provide dynamic IP address assignment for your
hosts. On which types of servers could you install the DHCP service?
