3. When a client is requesting an initial address lease from a DHCP server, why is the DHCPREQUEST message sent as a broadcast?

• The client does not yet know the IP address of the DHCP server that sent the offer.
• The DHCP server may be on a different subnet, so the request must be sent as a broadcast.
• The client does not have a MAC address assigned yet, so it cannot send a unicast message at Layer 2.
• The client may have received offers from multiple servers, and the broadcast serves to implicitly decline those other offers.

4. Which DHCP IPv4 message contains the following information?

• Send a DHCPACK packet to the default gateway address.
• Use a statically configured IP address from the pool of IP addresses that is offered by the DHCP server.
• Send a DHCPDISCOVER message to physical address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.
• Send a DHCPREQUEST packet to IP address 255.255.255.255.

17. What is an advantage of configuring a Cisco router as a relay agent?

• It can provide relay services for multiple UDP services.
• It reduces the response time from a DHCP server.
• It can forward both broadcast and multicast messages on behalf of clients.
• It will allow DHCPDISCOVER messages to pass without alteration.

18. Which statement is true about DHCP operation?

• When a device that is configured to use DHCP boots, the client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message to identify any available DHCP servers on the network.
• A client must wait for lease expiration before it sends another DHCPREQUEST message.
• If the client receives several DHCPOFFER messages from different servers, it sends a unicast DHCPREQUEST message to the server from which it chooses to obtain the IP information.
• The DHCPDISCOVER message contains the IP address and subnet mask to be assigned, the IP address of the DNS server, and the IP address of the default gateway.

19. Order the DHCP message types as they would occur between a DHCP client and a DHCP server.

20. A network administrator configures a router to send RA messages with M flag as 0 and O flag as 1. Which statement describes the effect of this configuration when a PC tries to configure its IPv6 address?

• It should contact a DHCPv6 server for the prefix, the prefix-length information, and an interface ID that is both random and unique.

• Add the IPv6 address 2001:DB8:1234:5678::10/64 to the interface configuration of the DHCPv6 server.

22. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is implementing the stateless DHCPv6 operation for the company. Clients are configuring IPv6 addresses as expected. However, the clients are not getting the DNS server address and the domain name information configured in the DHCP pool. What could be the cause of the problem?

• The DNS server address is not on the same network as the clients are on.
• The router is configured for SLAAC operation.
• The GigabitEthernet interface is not activated.
• The clients cannot communicate with the DHCPv6 server, evidenced by the number of active clients being 0.

23. Question as presented:

A stateless DHCPv6 client would send a DHCPv6 INFORMATION-REQUEST message as step 3 in the process.

24. A company uses the SLAAC method to configure IPv6 addresses for the employee workstations. Which address will a client use as its default gateway?

• the global unicast address of the router interface that is attached to the network

32. The address pool of a DHCP server is configured with 10.92.71.0/25. The network administrator reserves 8 IP addresses for servers. How many IP addresses are left in the pool to be assigned to other hosts?

• 122
• 118
• 119
• 108
• 116

33. Question as presented:

The broadcast DHCPDISCOVER message finds DHCPv4 servers on the network. When the DHCPv4 server receives a DHCPDISCOVER message, it reserves an available IPv4 address to lease to the client and sends the unicast DHCPOFFER message to the requesting client. When the client receives the DHCPOFFER from the server, it sends back a DHCPREQUEST. On receiving the DHCPREQUEST message the server replies with a unicast DHCPACK message. DHCPREPLY and DHCPINFORMATION-REQUEST are DHCPv6 messages.

34. After a host has generated an IPv6 address by using the DHCPv6 or SLAAC process, how does the host verify that the address is unique and therefore usable?

• The host sends an ICMPv6 echo request message to the DHCPv6 or SLAAC-learned address and if no reply is returned, the address is considered unique.
• The host sends an ICMPv6 neighbor solicitation message to the DHCP or SLAAC-learned address and if no neighbor advertisement is returned, the address is considered unique.
• The host checks the local neighbor cache for the learned address and if the address is not cached, it it considered unique.
• The host sends an ARP broadcast to the local link and if no hosts send a reply, the address is considered unique.

35. Which statement describes HSRP?

• It is used within a group of routers for selecting an active device and a standby device to provide gateway services to a LAN.
• It uses ICMP to allow IPv4 hosts to locate routers that provide IPv4 connectivity to remote IP networks.
• If the virtual router master fails, one router is elected as the virtual router master with the other routers acting as backups.
• It is an open standard protocol.

• 10
• 0
• 8
• 21
• 18

44. A company uses DHCP servers to dynamically assign IPv4 addresses to employee workstations. The address lease duration is set as 5 days. An employee returns to the office after an absence of one week. When the employee boots the workstation, it sends a message to obtain an IP address. Which Layer 2 and Layer 3 destination addresses will the message contain?

45. Which command will allow a network administrator to check the IP address that is assigned to a particular MAC address?

• Router# show running-config I section_dhcp
• Router# show ip dhcp server statistics
• Router# show ip dhcp binding
• Router# show ip dhcp pool

  Explanation: The show ip dhcp binding command will show the leases, including IP addresses, MAC addresses, lease expiration, type of lease, client ID, and user name.

  46. What is the reason that an ISP commonly assigns a DHCP address to a wireless router in a SOHO environment?

  • better network performance
  • better connectivity
  • easy IP address management
  • easy configuration on ISP firewall

  Explanation:In a SOHO environment, a wireless router connects to the ISP via a DSL or cable modem. The IP address between the wireless router and ISP site is typically assigned by the ISP through DHCP. This method facilitates the IP addressing management in that IP addresses for clients are dynamically assigned so that if a client is dropped, the assigned IP address can be easily reassigned to another client.

  47. What information can be verified through the show ip dhcp binding command?

  • the IPv4 addresses that are assigned to hosts by the DHCP server
  • that DHCPv4 discover messages are still being received by the DHCP server
  • the IPv4 addresses that have been excluded from the DHCPv4 pool
  • the number of IP addresses remaining in the DHCP pool

  Explanation:The show ip dhcp binding command shows a list of IPv4 addresses and the MAC addresses of the hosts to which they are assigned. Using this information an administrator can determine which host interfaces have been assigned to specific hosts.

  48. What is the result of a network technician issuing the command ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.15.1 10.0.15.15 on a Cisco router?

  • The Cisco router will exclude only the 10.0.15.1 and 10.0.15.15 IP addresses from being leased to DHCP clients.
  • The Cisco router will exclude 15 IP addresses from being leased to DHCP clients.
  • The Cisco router will automatically create a DHCP pool using a /28 mask.
  • The Cisco router will allow only the specified IP addresses to be leased to clients.

  Explanation: The ip dhcp excluded-address command is followed by the first and the last addresses to be excluded from being leased to DHCP clients.

  49. Match the descriptions to the corresponding DHCPv6 server type. (Not all options are used.)
  

  50. Refer to the exhibit. Based on the output that is shown, what kind of IPv6 addressing is being configured?

  • stateless DHCPv6
  • SLAAC
  • static link-local
  • stateful DHCPv6

  Explanation: Stateful DHCPv6 pools are configured with address prefixes for hosts via the address command, whereas stateless DHCPv6 pools typically only contain information such as DNS server addresses and the domain name. RA messages that are sent from routers that are configured as stateful DHCPv6 servers have the M flag set to 1 with the command ipv6 nd managed-config-flag, whereas stateless DHCPv6 servers are indicated by setting the O flag to 1 with the ipv6 nd other-config-flag command.

  51. Which FHRP implementation is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that suppports IPv6 load balancing?

  • GLBP
  • GLBP for IPv6
  • VRRPv3

  52. Which set of commands will configure a router as a DHCP server that will assign IPv4 addresses to the 192.168.100.0/23 LAN while reserving the first 10 and the last addresses for static assignment?

  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.9
  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.101.254
  ip dhcp pool LAN-POOL-100
  ip network 192.168.100.0 255.255.254.0
  ip default-gateway 192.168.100.1

  dhcp pool LAN-POOL-100
  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.9
  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.254
  network 192.168.100.0 255.255.254.0
  default-router 192.168.101.1

  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.10
  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.254
  ip dhcp pool LAN-POOL-100
  network 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0
  ip default-gateway 192.168.100.1

  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.10
  ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.101.254
  ip dhcp pool LAN-POOL-100
  network 192.168.100.0 255.255.254.0
  default-router 192.168.100.1

  Explanation: The /23 prefix is equivalent to a network mask of 255.255.254.0. The network usable IPv4 address range is 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.101.254 inclusive. The commands dhcp pool, ip default-gateway, and ip network are not valid DHCP configuration commands.

   

  53. What is a result when the DHCP servers are not operational in a network?

  • Workstations are assigned with the IP address 127.0.0.1.
  • Workstations are assigned with IP addresses in the 10.0.0.0/8 network.
  • Workstations are assigned with IP addresses in the 169.254.0.0/16 network.
  • Workstations are assigned with the IP address 0.0.0.0.

  Explanation: When workstations are configured with obtaining IP address automatically but DHCP servers are not available to respond to the requests, a workstation can assign itself an IP addresses from the 169.254.0.0/16 network.

  54. A company uses the method SLAAC to configure IPv6 addresses for the workstations of the employees. A network administrator configured the IPv6 address on the LAN interface of the router. The interface status is UP. However, the workstations on the LAN segment did not obtain the correct prefix and prefix length. What else should be configured on the router that is attached to the LAN segment for the workstations to obtain the information?

  R1(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool
  R1(config-if)# ipv6 enable
  R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
  R1(config-if)# ipv6 nd other-config-flag

  Explanation: A PC that is configured to use the SLAAC method obtains the IPv6 prefix and prefix length from a router. When the PC boots, it sends an RS message to inform the routers that it needs the information. A router sends an RA message that includes the required information. For a router to be able to send RA messages, it must be enabled as an IPv6 router by the unicast ipv6-routing command in global configuration mode. The other options are not used to enable IPv6 routing on a router.

   

  55. Which FHRP implementation is a nonproprietary protocol which relies on ICMP to provide IPv4 redundancy?

  • VRRPv3
  • GLBP for IPv6
  • IRDP
  • GLBP

  56. Refer to the exhibit. PC-A is unable to receive an IPv6 address from the stateful DHCPv6 server. What is the problem?
  

  • The ipv6 dhcp relay command should be applied to interface Gig0/0.
  • The ipv6 nd managed-config-flag should be applied to interface Gig0/1.
  • The ipv6 dhcp relay command should use the link-local address of the DHCP server.
  • The ipv6 nd managed-config-flag command should be ipv6 nd other-config-flag .

  Explanation: The ipv6 dhcp relay command must be applied to the interface where the clients are located. The ipv6 dhcp relay command can use either the link-local or global unicast address of the DHCPv6 server, or even a multicast address. The ipv6 nd managed-config-flag indicates to the clients that they should use stateful DHCPv6 and is also applied to the interface where the clients are located.

  57. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring a router as a DHCPv6 server. The administrator issues a show ipv6 dhcp pool command to verify the configuration. Which statement explains the reason that the number of active clients is 0?
  

  • The default gateway address is not provided in the pool.
  • No clients have communicated with the DHCPv6 server yet.
  • The IPv6 DHCP pool configuration has no IPv6 address range specified.
  • The state is not maintained by the DHCPv6 server under stateless DHCPv6 operation.

  Explain:
  Under the stateless DHCPv6 configuration, indicated by the command ipv6 nd other-config-flag, the DHCPv6 server does not maintain the state information, because client IPv6 addresses are not managed by the DHCP server. Because the clients will configure their IPv6 addresses by combining the prefix/prefix-length and a self-generated interface ID, the ipv6 dhcp pool configuration does not need to specify the valid IPv6 address range. And because clients will use the link-local address of the router interface as the default gateway address, the default gateway address is not necessary.

  58. Which FHRP implementation is Cisco-proprietary and permits only one router in a group to forward IPv6 packets?
