Question

You have two LANs connected via a router. Network 1 has a DHCP server with a single Ethernet interface. Network 2 does not have a DHCP server. You want the h​osts on Network 2 to be able to get IP addresses from the DHCP server on Network 1. What should you configure?

Answer 1

Answer:

You will Configure a LAN with DHCP and VLANs.

Explanation:

Routers generally support clients on both physical Local Area Networks ork (LANs) and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). The routers can use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to enable automatic assignment of IP configurations for nodes on these networks i.e the network 2.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), uses a client/server model for address allocation. It means it automatically assigns an IP address to each client.

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enable networks to be segmented or broken and formed into logical groups of users, regardless of the user's physical location or Local Area Network connection.

Answer 2

Answer:

The best thing to configure is the DHCP Server.

Explanation:

DHCP stand for Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol which is a sever used to automatically assign IP addresses, default gateways, domain names, etc to various users connected on a network. From the question above, since Network 1 has already configured DHCP server which provides IP addressing to its hosts, and Network 1 and Network 2 are connected to the same router directly, then then there is need to configure  DHCP server for Network 2 users for IP addressing . DHCP server is basically flexible and robust enough to do hots IP configurations which it was build for other than the router which may likely result into delay in packet delivery and communication with connected networks.
