DHCP client and servers on the same subnet communicate via _________
- A.
UDP broadcast
- B.
UDP unicast
- C.
TCP broadcast
- D.
TCP unicast
Correct Answer
A. UDP broadcastExplanation
DHCP clients and servers on the same subnet communicate via UDP broadcast. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that allows for broadcasting messages to multiple devices on a network. In the case of DHCP, the client sends a broadcast message requesting an IP address, and the server responds with a broadcast message containing the assigned IP address. This allows for efficient communication between clients and servers on the same subnet without the need for establishing individual connections.Rate this question:

After obtaining the IP address, to prevent the IP conflict the client may use _________
- A.
Internet relay chat
- B.
Broader gateway protocol
- C.
Address resolution protocol
- D.
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
C. Address resolution protocolExplanation
To prevent IP conflict, the client may use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). ARP is a protocol used to map an IP address to a physical (MAC) address on a local network. It allows devices to communicate with each other by resolving the IP address of a device to its corresponding MAC address. By using ARP, the client can ensure that there are no conflicts in IP addresses within the network, as each device will have a unique MAC address associated with its IP address.Rate this question:
