H12-211 Exam - Question 39


The IP addresses of clients in the network are deployed via a DHCP server. When a host reboots, which message will the host first send to the DHCP server?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

When a host reboots, it initiates a new DHCP lease request since it might have lost its previous IP configuration. The first step in the DHCP process is to send a DHCP DISCOVER message to locate available DHCP servers on the network. This is necessary because the host needs to find a server to request an IP address from before it can proceed with any configuration.

When a host reboots, it starts from zero so no memory, no dhcp, nothing. It starts sending a DHCP Discover.

Yes but this is when firstly the device is connected to the network. in this case the devices already discovered the dhcp server so they won't do it again and go for the request process directely.

YES ... a request message is also sent after a dhcp client is RESTARTED, at which time it broadcasts a dhcp request message to confirm the configuration, such as the assigned IP address. a DHCP resquest message is also sent after a DHCP client obtains an IP address, in order to extend the IP address lease.
