Troubleshooting Cisco Wireless Enterprise Networks (WITSHOOT, legacy) — Question 2

An engineer has run the debug dhcp packet enable command on the wireless LAN controller CLI. Which field contains the IP address offered to the client?

Answer options

• A. siaddr
• B. ciaddr
• C. chaddr
• D. yiaddr
• E. giaddr

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the chaddr field is used to store the client's hardware address, which is essential in the DHCP process. The other fields serve different purposes: siaddr indicates the IP address of the server, ciaddr represents the client’s IP address, yiaddr is the 'your' IP address offered to the client, and giaddr is the gateway IP address.
