Chapter 2 Flashcards
Wht is contained in a DHCP scope?
The IP address pool
What are the four kinds of DHCP packets transmitted when assigning a client an IP address?
DHCPDISCOVER: Broadcasted by client initially
DHCPOFFER: Suggested IP configuration sent by server
DHCPREQUEST: Sent by client to accept offer
DHCPACK: Sent by server to client to confirm
What information in the DHCPREQUEST packet allows multiple DHCP servers to determine which one is handling a client request?
The server identifier
When does a client try to renew its DHCP lease so it does not lose connectivity?
50% through the lease time, it contacts its DHCP server
If it receives no response, it sends a broadcast 87.5% through the lease time
If it still cannot renew after its lease expires, it goes into DHCP discovery mode
What DHCP packets are sent during a lease renewal?
Only DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK, broadcast is not needed since it knows which server to communicate with
How does a client try to renew its DHCP lease during startup?
If it cannot contact its DHCP server, it contacts its configured default gateway
If that cannot be reached, it assumes it has swithced subnets and goes into DHCP discovery mode
What kind of Windows Server cannot use the DHCP role?
Nano Server
How do you install DHCP server using PowerShell?
Add-WindowsFeature DHCP -IncludeManagementTools
What tasks does the DHCP Post-Install Configuration Wizard perform?
Creates the DHCP Administrators and DHCP Users security groups in AD to enable delegation of DHCP server administration
Authorizes the DHCP server role if the computer is domain-joined
How can you authorize a DHCP server without using the Post-Install Configuration Wizard?
Right-click the DHCP server in the DHCP console and select “Authorize,” or run the Add-DhcpServerInDC cmdlet
What DHCP scope settings can be changed after it is created?
The IP address range and DHCP exclusions
From where does DHCP automatically pull the Parent Domain Value when creating a scope?
The DHCP server’s domain membership or primary DNS suffix
Which PowerShell cmdlet is used to create a DHCP scope?
Add-DhcpServerV4Scope
What are DHCP superscopes used for?
Supporting multinets: multiple logical networks or subnets on a single physical network
Useful for mitigating address pool depletion, migrating clients to new scopes, or running multiple DHCP servers for different subnets
What is a MADCAP scope?
Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol, used to support apps that communicate with multicast
What is the IP address range for multicast communication?
Class D, 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 or 224.0.0.0/3
How do you add a scope to a superscope?
From the DHCP console, right-click the scope and select “Add To Superscope”
What are two ways to view a client’s MAC address?
Use ipconfig /all, or use arp -a to see all IP addresses and their MACs
Without options, what is the only information provided by DHCP to a client?
IP address and subnet mask
What are the four different DHCP configuration levels where you can customize DHCP options?
Server, scope, class, and reserved client
Each one of these overrides the preceeding one
Which PowerShell cmdlet is used to configure DHCP server options?
Set-DhcpServer4OptionValue
Where can DHCP classes be defined?
For an IPv4 node, not for servers and scopes, and not for IPv6
How is class membership determined?
The client sends a class ID in its DHCPREQUEST message
How can a class ID be manually set on a client?
ipconfig /setclassid “network adapter here” IDNAMEHERE
By default, how are DNS records automatically updated?
The DHCP client updates the record itself, and the DHCP server deletes the A and PTR records when the lease expires
