CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 681

A network technician is utilizing DHCP. The technician has set a six-day lease time for all hosts. After which of the following time intervals should the hosts attempt to FIRST renew their address?

Answer options

• A. Two days
• B. Three days
• C. Six days
• D. Seven days

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Hosts should attempt to renew their DHCP lease when they reach 50% of the lease time, which in this case is three days. Options A, C, and D do not align with the correct timing for the first renewal attempt, as they either suggest renewing too early or too late.
