70-223 Configuring and Administering Microsoft Clustering Services by using Windows 2000 Advanced Server Online Class

Demo Question 10.

You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster provides file and print services to 1,500 client computers in the manufacturing division. One private network on the cluster is configured for Internal cluster communications only. One public network is configured for Client access only. The average utilization for the network is 60 percent. EliteCertify recently acquired another company, which will add 500 manufacturing client computers to the cluster environment within the next six months. You anticipate that this addition will increase network utilization. You want to modify the cluster environment to support the additional users. What should you do?

A. Designate the current public network for all All communications.
B. Designate the current private network for All communications.
C. Add network adapters to each node for Client access only, configured in the existing manufacturing subnet.
D. Add network adapters to each node for Client access only, configured for a new manufacturing subnet and segment.


Display Answer

Answer: D

Explanation: Client access only the public network adapter will be used by the cluster only for communications. By selecting the is property for the NIC for the new subnet and segment will allow the employees to be supported. Incorrect answers: A. This property is used when you only have 2 adapters and one is only for node-to-node communication. This is not the case in this situation. B. It would not make sense to designate a private network adapters to All Communications. C. You are currently able to support the marketing subnet. Therefore there is no need to add another adapter.
