CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 608

Which of the following is required for hosts to receive DHCP addresses from a server that is located on a different subnet?

Answer options

• A. DHCP scope
• B. DHCP snooping
• C. DHCP reservations
• D. DHCP relay

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, DHCP relay, as it enables DHCP messages to pass between different subnets, allowing clients to obtain addresses from a remote server. The other options, such as DHCP scope, DHCP snooping, and DHCP reservations, are related to DHCP configuration and security but do not facilitate communication across subnets.
