Discussion 6

1. “Ensuring Consistent Availability of DHCP and Internal Domain Creation Best Practices”  Please respond to the following:

• Provide one (1) example of a business networking scenario that would demand consistent availability of the DHCP service. From the textbook, choose at least two (2) of the overall objectives Microsoft used when designing DHCP and demonstrate the extent to which each contributes to the need for consistent DHCP availability in your scenario. Next, provide one (1) example of a business networking scenario where DHCP availability would not be as critical by contrasting it to one (1) of the objectives Microsoft used when designing DHCP.
• Examine at least two (2) best practices you should follow when creating internal domains. Provide one (1) example for each to demonstrate the degree to which each practice can help increase network efficiency and help cut costs for an organization.

2. “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and IPv6” Please respond to the following:

• Per the text, DHCP is a widely used technique for configuring the IP address and other parameters of IP devices. Identify what you believe to be the single most common configuration error and explain the reasons to support your position. Discuss the strategy you would use to fix the error that you have identified. Provide a rationale for your response.

• There are a number of Cisco IOS tools and commands available for troubleshooting an OSPFv3 or Stateless IP Autoconfiguration problem. Select the tool that you would use to troubleshoot such a problem and provide a rationale for your response.  

3. There are a few different modes of MPLS, frame mode and cell mode, what is the difference between the two and under what circumstance would I deploy them.
