A network administrator needs to set up a file server to allow user access. The organization uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. Which of the following is the best solution for the administrator to set up?
A.
A separate scope for the file server using a /32 subnet
B.
A reservation for the server based on the MAC address
B. A reservation for the server based on the MAC address.
Assigning a DHCP reservation for the server based on its MAC address ensures that the file server will consistently receive the same IP address every time it connects to the network. This approach provides the advantages of DHCP (automatic assignment of IP addresses) while also guaranteeing a specific and consistent IP address for the file server, making it easy for users to access it reliably.
B. A reservation for the server based on the MAC address
To set up a file server with user access in an environment that uses DHCP for IP address assignment, the best solution for the administrator is to create a reservation for the server based on its MAC address.
File servers are typically high availability devices where users always need access. Relying on a DHCP server can reduce that availability as it adds an additional device that can fail. Creating a static removes some of the risk
C. A static IP address within the DHCP IP range
Here's why the other options are not ideal:
A. A separate scope for the file server using a /32 subnet: While technically possible, using a /32 subnet for a single device is inefficient and unnecessary. It also wouldn't guarantee the server receives a static IP.
B. A reservation for the server based on the MAC address: A DHCP reservation is a good option, but it's not the most optimal. A static IP provides more control and avoids reliance on DHCP functionality for the critical file server.
D. SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration): SLAAC is an automatic configuration method for IPv6 networks. It's not suitable for this scenario where the administrator specifically needs a static IP for the file server.
Therefore, a static IP address within the existing DHCP IP range offers the most control and predictability for the file server while still allowing DHCP to function for other devices on the network
If you put a static IP within the scope without reserving it or excluding it, it will be assigned to something else and you'll get a conflict.
Anyone answering C needs to seriously study DHCP
A static IP would require an exclusion on the DHCP server, might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone and setup a reservation
