CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 831

Which of the following describes the BEST device to configure as a DHCP relay?

Answer options

• A. Bridge
• B. Router
• C. Layer 2 switch
• D. Hub

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A Router is the best device to configure as a DHCP relay because it can forward DHCP requests between clients and servers across different networks. Bridges, Layer 2 switches, and hubs typically operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model and do not have the capability to route DHCP packets, making them unsuitable for this role.
