Q

When does a client try to renew its DHCP lease so it does not lose connectivity?

A

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

Q

How does a client try to renew its DHCP lease during startup?

A

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

25
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
26
What feature helps protect a DNS zone from incorrect or insecure updates?
Name Protection
27
What must be configured on a DNS zone for Name Protection to work?
Secure Dynamic Updates
28
Which PowerShell cmdlet creates DHCP policies?
Add-DhcpServerV4Policy
29
What are the three ways IPv6 nodes obtain their configuration?
Stateless: Obtains only a router prefix from the router advertisements Stateful: Obtains addresses and other options from a DHCPv6 server Both
30
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 in how they communicate to receive DHCP settings?
IPv4 sends to broadcast addresses, while IPv6 sends to multicast addresses
31
How do IPv6 clients choolse from multiple DHCPv6 servers?
They select the one with the highest preference value | If multiple offers have the same preference value, it will pick the one with the most options
32
What is the default DHCPv6 lease duration?
8 days
33
What DHCP function allows for passing DHCP broadcasts across subnet boundaries?
DHCP Relay Agent
34
How is the DHCP Relay Agent installed on Windows Server?
As part of the LAN Routing Role Service in the Remote Access Server role, NOT in the DHCP Server role
35
What changes must be made to run both DHCP and Windows Deployment Services on the same server?
You must change DHCP options 60, 66, and 67 so the UDP ports are not conflicting Option 60 must be changed through netsh
36
Which PowerShell cmdlets are used to export and import configuration for DHCP server?
Export-DhcpServer and Import-DhcpServer
37
What are the three high-availability options for DHCP server?
Clustered servers with shared storage Split scopes Replication to a failover server
38
How can you configure DHCP split scopes?
Use the DHCP Split-Scope Configuration Wizard
39
How many servers can be configured for DHCP failover?
Only 2
40
What functionality is not supported with DHCP failover?
IPv6 scopes
41
What are the two modes for DHCP failover?
Load sharing: Both servers lease configurations determined by a load distribution ratio Hot standby: A primary server serves requests unless it fails over to a secondary
42
What type of DHCP failover is recommended for multi-site installations?
Hot standby, although TCP port 647 must be opened to transmit failover messages through firewalls
43
In a DHCP failover configuration, what setting determines how long a secondary server must wait before taking over a scope, and what is its default value?
Maximum Client Lead Time, 1 hour
44
By default, what percentage of addresses are reserved by the secondary DHCP server while it waits for the MCLT to expire?
5%
45
In a DHCP failover configuration, what setting determines when a server automatically marks its partner as down, and what is its default value?
State Switchover Interval
46
In a DHCP failover configuration, what settings can be enabled to secure communications between servers?
Enable Message Authentication and Shared Secret
47
Which PowerShell cmdlet is used to configure DHCP failover?
Add-DhcpServer4Failover
48
Which PowerShell cmdlet is used to trigger DHCP scope replication?
Invoke-DhcpServer4FailoverReplication
49
Where are DHCP database files stored?
%systemroot%\System32\dhcp
50
What kinds of files make of up the DHCP database?
dhcp. mdb - The main file tmp. edb - Temp working file j50. log - Log file, increments number j50. chk - Checkpoint file, determines when logs are committed to database j50res00001. jrs - Reserved file to use if running out of disk space, also

55
How can you manually initiate a DHCP backup?
Right-click a DHCP server and select "Backup..." or run the Backup-DhcpServer cmdlet
56
How do you restore a DHCP backup?
Right-click a DHCP server and select "Restore..." or run the Restore-DhcpServer cmdlet
57
What is the most likely cause and resolution when a DHCP server fails to start?
Database is corrupted, try restoring from backup
58
What is the most likely cause and resolution when a DHCP server fails to issue leases?
DHCP service failure, or insufficient IP addresses in the pool Verify service is running, sufficient IP addresses available, and that DHCP relay is running for clients in other subnets
59
What is the most likely cause and resolution for client address conflicts?
Another service is providing DHCP, overlapping scopes in the same subnet, static address Locate interfering network devices, check address pools for overlaps, replace static addresses with reservations
60
What is the most likely cause and resolution for client cannot get a lease and is using APIPA?
DHCP service failure, insufficient IP addresses in pool, client in subnet without DHCP server, physical network issues Verify service is running, sufficient addresses in pool, subnet has DHCP relay, and physical connection
61
Where are DHCP audit logs stored by default?
%systemroot%\System32\dhcp in a file called "DhcpSrvLog - [day here].log"
