I'm starting to go through CBT nuggets and gonna hardcore it this weekend. Got a nice quiet trip to north wales planned later tonight till sunday to try and motivate me to learn stuff (theres nothing else to do there :P).

Got it booked for 26th August so really need to get at it!

This question I know going to be

Reservations I don't understand why would you use them then a Static address from Exclusion pool.

I understand reservation that it uses the mac address of client or print so client get the same IP address cos the mac address / physical address doesn't change.

Why not use an IP from exclusion pool yes client will ask on 4th day then the 8th day as it static on client it will not change.

What have I missed!

Thanks

Hiya Ence,
Easy one this. The difference between configuring a static IP address and a reserved IP address is that if any peramters are modifed on the DHCP server (changes in scopes etc), a reserved IP addressed client will pick up these changes when it reuqests a renewal for its lease, as you say, on the 4th day, 8th etc.

If that client had a statically configured IP address, you'd have to manually apply any changes to the client/printer/what ever.

You are taking in most of the info mate, ask another one

When is your exam booked for Ence?
This is so draining.. my fingers are getting further into my skull via my eye socket.

[Ence]

Still not happy I like to be 85% + I'm ready to sit this plus I got to wait for Prometric to get back to me on extended exam time. I never asked before for help but this time as question are so long I will need more time.

Sometime next month.

What you working on now dazza786 ?

I'll talk more on this later, but, I'm finding DNS quite easy and fun

[Daniel]

I've done..

TCP/IP Configuration - 100% done
Managing DHCP - 100% done
Managing DNS - 85% done
Remote Access - 100% done
Routing - 60% done (RIP and OSPF make my life easier)

2 more sections to go + a Cisco Subnetting class.

Very draining exam this, if anyone needs some help with any of those topics ^ just say, more than happy to help (mainly because I know how frustrating some of it can be).

How is everyone else finding 70-291?
