Network Access

When a client and server are not located on the same physical network, which device forwards DHCP requests and replies between the client and server?

  • A DHCPOFFER
  • B DHCP relay agent
  • C DHCP server
  • D DHCPDISCOVER
Explanation

A DHCP relay agent is used when a DHCP client and DHCP server are on different networks because the client's initial DHCP traffic is broadcast-based and normally does not pass across network boundaries. The relay agent receives the client's DHCP messages, forwards them to the remote DHCP server, and sends the server's responses back to the client.
