CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 237

A network device needs to discover a server that can provide it with an IPv4 address. Which of the following does the device need to send the request to?

Answer options

• A. Default gateway
• B. Broadcast address
• C. Unicast address
• D. Link local address

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a network device uses a broadcast address to discover servers that can provide an IPv4 address. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because the default gateway, unicast address, and link local address do not facilitate the discovery process for address assignment.
