CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 796

Which of the following would be used to forward requests and replies between a DHCP server and client?

Answer options

• A. Relay
• B. Lease
• C. Scope
• D. Range

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Relay' because a DHCP relay agent forwards DHCP messages between clients and servers, especially when they are on different networks. The other options, such as 'Lease', 'Scope', and 'Range', are related to DHCP configuration but do not serve the purpose of forwarding messages.
