Question

nadine is the systems administrator for a network with a single subnet. The subnet uses 192.168.1.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. The network has 10 servers running Windows Server. Srv1 currently provides both DHCP and DNS services. Nadine wants to increase the fault tolerance for her DHCP servers. She installs a new server, Srv11, and configures it for DHCP. She configures a scope on Srv11 to match the scope on Srv1 and then excludes half of the addresses in the scope on Srv1 and the other half of the addresses on the Srv11. Nadine decides to test her solution and shuts down Srv1. As a test, she forces a workstation to release its IP address and request a new one. She finds that the workstation has the IP address 169.254.0.15 with a mask of 255.255.0.0. What should Nadine do to fix the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

Authorize Srv11

Explanation:

In order to fix this problem, Nadine should Authorize Srv11. The problem is most likely being caused due to failure of authorization of the server. This would prevent this server from being on the same scope as Srv1 and therefore, it is why the IPaddress being given is different. DHCP is an automatic protocol and would not be able to provide an IP address in the same scope if the server is not Authorized to do so.
