Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, VNX — Question 46

How does a DHCP Client make a request to a DHCP server following an offer?

Answer options

• A. Multicast
• B. ACK
• C. Broadcast
• D. Unicast

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Unicast, as the DHCP Client sends a request directly to the DHCP server using its specific address after receiving an offer. Options A and C (Multicast and Broadcast) are incorrect because they involve sending messages to multiple devices rather than directly addressing the server. Option B (ACK) is not applicable here as it refers to the acknowledgment message sent by the server after a successful request.
