CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 231

A network administrator needs to connect a department to a new network segment. They need to use a DHCP server located on another network.

Which of the following can the administrator use to complete this task?

Answer options

• A. IP Helper
• B. Reservation
• C. Exclusion
• D. Scope

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, IP Helper, which allows DHCP requests to be forwarded to a DHCP server on a different subnet. The other options do not facilitate the connection to a remote DHCP server; Reservation is for assigning specific IP addresses to devices, Exclusion is for preventing certain IP addresses from being assigned, and Scope refers to the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign.
