Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 60

You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2016. Both servers have the DHCP Server server role installed.
Server1 has a DHCP scope named Scope1. Server2 has a DHCP scope named Scope2.
You need to ensure that client computers can get an IP address if a single DHCP server fails. You must be able to control the percentage of requests to which each DHCP server responds during normal network operations.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Add Server1 and Server2 as nodes in a failover cluster, and then configure the DHCP Server server role.
• B. Add Server1 and Server2 as nodes in a failover cluster, and then configure the quorum mode.
• C. On Server1 and Server2, configure DHCP failover for Scope1 and Scope2.
• D. Add Server1 and Server2 as nodes in a failover cluster, and then configure port rules for UDP 67 and UDP 68.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option is C, as configuring DHCP failover allows both servers to share the load of client requests and ensures IP address availability in case one server fails. Options A, B, and D involve clustering and port rules, which do not address the requirement for DHCP failover specifically.
