AZ-802 Practice Question: Implement and Manage On-Prem and Hybrid Networking

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  DHCP Server role

  Why it's wrong here

  While a DHCP server is often present on the same network, it is not responsible for NAT. DHCP provides IP addressing, whereas NAT handles address translation for traffic moving between different network segments. Enabling DHCP does not provide the necessary routing and translation services for internal clients to reach the internet.

• ✓

  Routing and Remote Access (RRAS)

  Why this is correct

  RRAS is the Windows Server service that provides NAT, VPN, and traditional routing capabilities. It allows the server to act as a gateway that performs address translation for internal private networks, translating private IP addresses to a public address for outbound traffic, thus providing the required internet access and security.

• ✗

  Network Policy Server (NPS)

  Why it's wrong here

  NPS is used for RADIUS authentication and network access control. It manages policies for who can connect to the network and what levels of access they are granted, but it does not perform packet translation or routing functions required for Network Address Translation to function on the gateway.

• ✗

  Hyper-V Network Virtualization

  Why it's wrong here

  Network Virtualization is used to create isolated virtual networks within a cloud environment. It is not designed to perform standard NAT for small-scale private network access to the internet. It operates at a different layer and serves a different purpose than the traditional NAT functionality required for a gateway.
