SRWE Module 7 -- DHCPv4 Process

Explain the DHCP lease process and the steps involved in obtaining a lease.

• The DHCP lease process involves a client requesting an IP address, the server offering an IP address, and the client ignoring the offer.

• The DHCP lease process involves a client requesting an IP address, the server offering an IP address, and the client rejecting the offer.

• The DHCP lease process involves a client requesting an IP address, the server denying the request, and the client trying again.

• The DHCP lease process involves a client requesting an IP address, the server offering an IP address, the client accepting the offer, and the server acknowledging the acceptance.

What is the purpose of DHCP lease renewal and how does it occur?

• To shut down the network connection

• To change the MAC address of the device

• To release the IP address and request a new one

• To extend the lease time for an IP address assigned by the DHCP server

What is the role of a DHCP relay agent in a network? Explain with an example.

• The role of a DHCP relay agent is to encrypt DHCP messages between clients and servers

• The role of a DHCP relay agent is to forward DHCP messages between clients and servers across different subnets.

• The role of a DHCP relay agent is to broadcast DHCP messages within the same subnet

• The role of a DHCP relay agent is to block DHCP messages between clients and servers

How does a DHCP relay agent help in forwarding DHCP messages to the DHCP server?

• By encrypting DHCP messages

• By blocking DHCP messages

• By relaying DHCP messages across different network segments.

• By rerouting DHCP messages to the wrong server

What are DHCP options and how are they used in a DHCP message?

• DHCP options are used to encrypt data in a DHCP message.

• DHCP options are used to assign static IP addresses in a DHCP message.

• DHCP options are used to block certain websites in a DHCP message.

• DHCP options are additional parameters used to provide configuration information to DHCP clients in a DHCP message.

How does a client discover a DHCP server in the network?

• DHCP discovery process

• By pinging the network

• By sending a DNS query

• By using a static IP address

What is the role of DHCP in IP address allocation?

• DHCP assigns static IP addresses to devices on a network.

• DHCP assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.

• DHCP assigns MAC addresses to devices on a network.

• DHCP assigns domain names to devices on a network.

What is the purpose of the DHCPACK message in the DHCP protocol?

• It is used by a client to request an IP address from the DHCP server.

• It is used by a client to release its lease and notify the server that the IP address can be reassigned.

• It is used by a client to renew its lease on an IP address.

• It is used by the DHCP server to acknowledge the client's acceptance of an offered IP address.

What is the purpose of the DHCPOFFER message in the DHCP protocol?

• It is used by a client to request an IP address from the DHCP server.

• It is used by the DHCP server to offer an IP address to the client.

• It is used by a client to offer an ip address and notify the DHCP server.

• It is used by a client to renew its lease on an IP address.

What is the purpose of the DHCPREQUEST message in the DHCP protocol?

• It is used by a client to request an IP address from the DHCP server.

• It is used by a client to renew its lease on an IP address.

• It is used by the DHCP server to acknowledge the client's acceptance of an offered IP address.
