QuestionQ313

Infrastructure Security

What function does an end device configured with DHCPv6 Guard perform?

  • A If it is configured as a client, messages are switched regardless of the assigned role.
  • B If it is configured as a client, only DHCP requests are permitted.
  • C If it is configured as a relay agent, only prefix assignments are permitted.
  • D If it is configured as a server, only prefix assignments are permitted.
Explanation

DHCPv6 Guard always switches DHCPv6 client messages regardless of the configured device role. Its role-based filtering is primarily applied to DHCP server advertisements and replies, which are processed further only when the device role is set to server.
