Exam: az-800
Domain: Implement and manage an on-premises and hybrid networking infrastructure
Topic: Manage Windows Server network infrastructure
Difficulty: medium
In a scenario where you need to ensure high availability for your DHCP servers across two data centers using DHCP failover, which of the following actions should you take to configure the failover correctly? Assume both data centers have identical network configurations and you want to minimize downtime during server maintenance.
Answer Options
A
Install DHCP on each server and manually assign IP addresses to clients.
B
Configure a DHCP failover partner on each server in different data centers.
C
Set up a script to automatically restart the DHCP service during maintenance.
D
Use a single DHCP server and rely on DNS round-robin for load balancing.
Correct Answer
B: Configure a DHCP failover partner on each server in different data centers.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because configuring a DHCP failover partner involves setting up a secondary server in another location that can take over if the primary server fails. Option A is incorrect as it does not address the failover configuration. Option C is incorrect because it suggests a manual process which is not scalable or reliable for high availability. Option D is incorrect as it implies a single server setup without failover, which does not meet the requirement of high availability.
