NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.2 — Question 104

Which two statements are true when using WPAD with the DHCP discovery method? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. If the DHCP method fails, browsers will try the DNS method.
• B. The browser sends a DHCPINFORM request to the DHCP server.
• C. The DHCP server provides the PAC file for download.
• D. The browser needs to be preconfigured with the DHCP server IP address.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because if the DHCP discovery method is unsuccessful, browsers proceed to use the DNS method as a fallback. Option B is also accurate since the browser indeed sends a DHCPINFORM request to obtain necessary configuration information. Options C and D are incorrect as the DHCP server does not provide the PAC file directly, and the browser does not need prior knowledge of the DHCP server's IP address to function correctly.
