LAB 1 REVIEW QUESTIONS

Completion time 15 minutes


1. In your own words, describe what you learned by completing this lab.

In addition to setting up these new virtual machines, in this lab I learned how to
modify the basic server settings, how to configure the TCP/IP settings, and how
to setup a second server on a network.

2. Open the Server Manager console on your Windows Server 2008 computer.
What selections are available to you in the left pane?

Roles, Features, Diagnostics, Configuration, Storage

3. Using the Windows Help option, describe any roles and features that are
currently installed on this server.

At the completion of Lab 1, no roles or features were installed on either server.

4. Explain in your own words why it is a best practice to configure a server, such as
a DNS server, with a static IP address rather than allowing it to obtain an IP
address using DHCP.

A static IP address allows clients on the network to keep track of the server
without the vulnerabilities created DHCP. In short, apps run smoother and the
network is more secure.

5. Explore the netsh command menus. Record three commands that you can issue
from the command line using netsh, and describe what each command does.

add helper – add a Netsh helper DLL

show helper – Dislpays the installed Netsh helper DLLs

show netdlls – Dislpays the current version of installed Netsh helper DLLs

set machine – Configures the computer on which the netsh commands are
executed

exec – Executes a script file containing netsh commands

What is the default lease duration of a Wired subnet type?


Question

What are three recommendations listed in Server Manager


for managing the DHCP Server role?

Increase fault tolerance by splitting DHCP scopes.


Question
3 Allow remote aministration of DHCP servers by configuring
Windows Firewall ports.

Balance the load on your DHCP servers by using the 80/20


rule for scopes.

What is the name of the computer you are working from?


Question

The full computer name is W2K8yy.lucernepublishing.com
What IP addressing settings are currently configured?
Question
5
IP address, Subnet mask

Is the computer currently configured for DHCP? How can you


Question tell?
6
Yes. The internal card IPv4 Address is now changed.

What is the IP address of the DHCP server from which


Question W2K8yy has obtained its IP address?
7
169.254.19.25

If the answer to #7 was not the IP address of the W2K8xx


computer, why might this have happened?

Both xx and yy servers are connected in the lp network. The


Question
xx server now has the DHCP role active, and the yy server is
8
now configured to automatically obtain an IP address. Since
the nature of DHCP is to assign addresses, the DHCP role on
the xx server assigned an address to the yy server (which
was seeking to obtain an address).

What nodes appear underneath the DHCP scope that you


Question created in Exercise 3-1?
9

LAB 3 REVIEW QUESTIONS


Completion time 15 minutes
1. In your own words, describe what you learned by completing this lab.

In Lab 3, I learned how to install and manage the DHCP server role, and how to
confirm DHCP functionality. It seemed like most of this lab was review from
225.

2. You have installed the DHCP Server service on a computer running Windows
Server 2008. You configure and activate a 10.0.0.0/24 scope; however, clients
still are receiving a 169.254.x.x IP address. What should you do?

Configure the IPv4 settings to obtain IP addresses automatically. Another option


may be to activate a scope of static IP address, and setup the clients to use
addresses from that pool of addresses.

3. You have configured a DHCP scope with an address range of 192.168.0.1 through
192.168.0.254. You have several servers and printers that use the IP address range
of 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.20. With the least amount of administrative
effort, how can you prevent duplicate IP addressing?

Setting up static IP addresses for the servers and printeres would prevent
duplicate IP addressing.

4. You currently are using a DHCP server on your network. It assigns a default
gateway scope option to clients. You use a router with a different IP address to
replace a router on your network. The new router allows clients to connect to the
Internet; however, clients cannot connect to the Internet using the new router.
What should you do?

Change the default gateway scope option to use the new router’s IP address.
