HPE Aruba Certified Central Associate (ACCA) — Question 5

A CX 6200 VSF stack is the L3 gateway for a mid-sized company. Users are divided into three different subnets on VLANs: 100, 200, and 300. VLAN 50 contains a management network for access points, switches, and DHCP servers.
How do the Access Points get an IP address using DHCP?

Answer options

• A. As a response to the multicast DHCP query.
• B. As a response to the broadcast DHCP query.
• C. As a response to the anycast DHCP query.
• D. As a response to the unicast DHCP query

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Access Points typically use broadcast messages to request IP addresses from the DHCP server, ensuring all DHCP servers on the network can respond. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as multicast, anycast, and unicast queries do not facilitate the usual DHCP address assignment process for Access Points.
