CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 476

Devices on a network will need to obtain DHCP leases from a server on a different network. Which of the following must the engineer implement for DHCP to forward requests to the designated server?

Answer options

• A. Trunking
• B. A forward lookup zone
• C. A proxy server
• D. An IP helper

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, an IP helper, which is used to forward DHCP requests from clients on one subnet to a DHCP server on another subnet. The other options, such as trunking, a forward lookup zone, and a proxy server, do not facilitate the forwarding of DHCP requests across different networks.
