4.3.11 DHCP
Which of the following statements about Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are true? (Select
two.) - correct answer ✔✔A DHCP server assigns addresses to requesting hosts.
It can deliver other configuration information in addition to IP addresses.
You have a TCP/IP network with 50 hosts. There have been inconsistent communication problems
between these hosts. You run a protocol analyzer and discover that two of them have the same IP
address assigned.
Which protocol can you implement on your network to help prevent problems such as this? - correct
answer ✔✔DHCP
Due to wide network expansion, you've decided to upgrade your network by configuring a DHCP server.
The network uses Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X client systems.
You configure the server to distribute IP addresses from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.100. You use the
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
After you make all the setting changes on the DHCP server, you reboot each client system, but they are
not able to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
Which of the following explains the failure? - correct answer ✔✔You must configure the clients to obtain
IP addressing from a DHCP server.
Which of the following strategies do we use to prevent duplicate IP addresses from being used on a
network? (Select two.) - correct answer ✔✔Install a DHCP server on the network.
Use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).
You recently created a new network segment for the Development department. Because the hosts are
now on a different network segment, they can no longer contact the DHCP server. Both network
segments are connected via a Cisco router.
Which of the following would be the BEST action to take to fix the problem? - correct answer
✔✔Implement an IP helper address on the router
