Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 86

You have a DHCP server named Server1.
Server1 has an IPv4 scope that contains 100 addresses for a subnet named Subnet1. Subnet1 provides guest access to the Internet. There are never more than
20 client computers on Subnet1 simultaneously; however, the computers that connect to Subnet1 are rarely the same computers.
You discover that some client computers are unable to access the network. The computers that have the issue have IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0/16.
You need to ensure that all of the computers can connect successfully to the network to access the Internet.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a new scope that uses IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0/16.
• B. Modify the scope options.
• C. Modify the lease duration.
• D. Configure Network Access Protection (NAP) integration on the existing scope.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adjusting the lease duration can help manage the limited IP addresses and ensure that they are released and made available for other clients more quickly. Option A is incorrect as 169.254.0.0/16 is a link-local address range and not suitable for DHCP. Option B does not address the underlying issue of IP address availability. Option D is also not relevant to resolving the connectivity problem in this scenario.
