Question 1
Computer & Networking BasicsDHCP

DHCP is commonly used to automatically provide hosts with?

  • AIP configuration parameters
  • BCPU instructions
  • CMAC addresses manufactured into NICs
  • DWeb page source code
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. IP configuration parameters
Explanation: DHCP can dynamically supply IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS-server information and other network parameters.
Reference: Standard computer networking fundamentals: dhcp
Question 2
Computer & Networking BasicsDHCP

If a DHCP client cannot obtain a lease, which configuration may it fail to receive automatically?

  • AIP address and related network parameters
  • BFactory-programmed MAC address
  • CCPU instruction set
  • DHard-disk sector size
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. IP address and related network parameters
Explanation: DHCP supplies dynamic IP configuration such as address, mask, gateway and DNS-server information.
Reference: Standard computer and networking fundamentals: dhcp
Question 3
Computer & Networking BasicsDHCP

A DHCP relay is useful when the DHCP server and client are?

  • AOn different IP subnets
  • BInside the same CPU register
  • CConnected by no network
  • DUsing only loopback addresses
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. On different IP subnets
Explanation: DHCP discovery begins with local broadcasts, so a relay can forward DHCP messages between client and server across router boundaries.
