DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 4
Save

After obtaining the IP address, to prevent the IP conflict the client may use _________

Detailed Solution: Question 4

ARP abbreviation for address resolution protocol is used for mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses that are present in the local network.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 5
Save

If DHCP snooping is configured on a LAN switch, then clients having specific ______ can access the network.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

The DHCP snooping is done to prevent unauthorized IP addresses being offered by unauthorized servers. This features allows only specific mac addresses and IP addresses to access the network.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 6
Save

DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) provides __________ to the client.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

We use DHCP to allow the hosts to acquire their ip addresses dynamically which is better than visiting each and every host on the network and configure all of this information manually.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 7
Save

The DHCP server _________

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Whenever a DHCP server gets a request from a client it responds with a DHCP offer containing IP address being offered, network mask offered, the amount of time that the client can use and keep it, the ip address of the DHCP server making this offer.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 8
Save

DHCP uses UDP port _________ for sending data to the server.

Detailed Solution: Question 8

67 is the UDP port number that is used as the destination port of a server. Whereas UDP port number 68 is used by the client.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 9
Save

DHCP client and servers on the same subnet communicate via _________

Detailed Solution: Question 9

DHCP actually employs a connectionless service, which is provided by UDP, since TCP is connection oriented. It is implemented with two UDP port numbers 67 and 68 for its operations.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Question 10
Save

What is DHCP snooping?

Detailed Solution: Question 10

DHCP snooping is a security feature that is used in OS of a network in the layer 2. This technology prevents unauthorized DHCP servers offering IP addresses to DHCP clients.
