Question
You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server and has the DHCP Server role installed. Server1 contains the following single scope:
• Scope: 192.168.16.0
• Address pool: 192.168.16.1-192.168.16.254
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Lease duration: 8 days
You have four testing devices that are configured with static IP addresses as shown in the following table.
| Name | IP address |
|---|---|
| TestDevice1 | 192.168.16.242 |
| TestDevice2 | 192.168.16.243 |
| TestDevice3 | 192.168.16.244 |
| TestDevice4 | 192.168.16.245 |
The test devices are turned on once a month.
You need to prevent Server1 from assigning the IP addresses allocated to the test devices to other devices when the test devices are offline. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do?
- A. Create a policy.
- B. Create reservations.
- C. Configure the Scope options.
- D. Create an exclusion range. Correct
Explanation
Creating an exclusion range for the IP addresses used by TestDevice1 to TestDevice4 prevents Server1 from assigning these addresses to other devices when they are offline, minimizing administrative effort.
