CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 984

What are two functions of DHCP servers? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. issue DHCPDISCOVER messages when added to the network
• B. respond to client DHCPOFFER requests by Issuing an IP address
• C. support centralized IP management
• D. assign dynamic IP configurations to hosts in a network
• E. prevent users from assigning their own IP addresses to hosts

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because DHCP servers provide centralized management of IP addresses and dynamically assign IP configurations to hosts. Options A and B describe actions related to DHCP operation but do not define primary functions, while option E is incorrect as DHCP servers do not prevent users from assigning IP addresses; they manage the assignment process.
