CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
During a data-center refresh, your team is replacing hard-coded static IPv4 addresses with DHCP-assigned addresses for every Windows and Linux server. One three-node application cluster must still be reachable on its existing IP addresses so that firewall rules and reverse-lookup (PTR) records stay valid-even after the nodes are re-imaged from a template. Operations wants the solution managed entirely on the DHCP server so administrators never have to touch the network settings inside the guest OSs. Which DHCP configuration best meets these requirements?
Define an exclusion range that contains the cluster IPs, then manually configure those addresses inside the virtual machines.
Create a reservation that maps each node's MAC address to its current IP and set the NICs to request an address via DHCP.
Configure network switches to insert DHCP Option 82 information so the server returns the same IP on every renewal.
Enable DHCP failover in load-balancing mode so the lease database is synchronized between two servers.
