What is the function of DHCPv4? - (ANSWER)Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol v4 (DHCPv4) assigns
IPv4 addresses and other network configuration information dynamically.
Is a dedicated server the only device capable of acting as a DHCPv4 server? - (ANSWER)No, in a small
branch or SOHO location, a Cisco router can be configured to provide DHCPv4 services without the need
for a dedicated server. Cisco IOS software supports an optional, full-featured DHCPv4 server.
True or False:
When a device receives an address through DHCP it owns that address permanently. - (ANSWER)False,
the DHCPv4 server dynamically assigns, or leases, an IPv4 address from a pool of addresses for a limited
period of time chosen by the server, or until the client no longer needs the address. This lease can be
renewed.
