• TCP

• UDP

• HTTP

• FTP

What is the purpose of a DHCPDISCOVER packet in the DHCP process?

• Offer an IP address to the client

• Request an IP address from the server

• Broadcast to find a DHCP server

• Confirm lease renewal

In which packet does the DHCP server offer an IP address to the client?

• DHCPDISCOVER

• DHCPOFFER

• DHCPREQUEST

What happens if a DHCP client cannot receive unicast messages?

• It sends a broadcast DHCPREQUEST packet

• It sends a broadcast DHCPDISCOVER packet

• It accepts the DHCPOFFER directly

• It ignores the server’s response

What action does a DHCP client take after receiving a DHCPOFFER?

• It starts using the offered IP address immediately

• It broadcasts a DHCPDECLINE packet

• It broadcasts a DHCPREQUEST packet

• It sends a unicast DHCPACK packet

Which packet does the DHCP server send to acknowledge the client's acceptance of the offered IP address?

• DHCPACK

• DHCPDECLINE

• DHCPOFFER

• DHCPREQUEST

What is the purpose of DHCP lease renewal?

• To request a new IP address

• To release the current IP address

• To extend the lease period for the IP address

• To switch to a different DHCP server

What does a DHCP client do if it cannot renew its lease before it expires?

• It switches to a different DHCP server

• It broadcasts a DHCPRENEW packet

• It releases the IP address and starts the discovery process again

• It assigns itself an automatic IP address

What is the main purpose of defining a scope in DHCP server configuration?

• To specify the DNS servers for the clients

• To allocate IP addresses for a specific subnet

• To configure DHCP relay agents
