H12-211 Exam - Question 161


DHCP Request packets must be sent in broadcast mode.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

DHCP Request packets do not have to be sent in broadcast mode only. While DHCP request packets are typically sent as broadcast during the initial four-way handshake process when the client does not yet have an IP address, they can also be sent as unicast packets during the lease renewal or rebinding process. Therefore, it is not correct to say that DHCP Request packets must always be sent in broadcast mode.

The DHCP Request message it's a Broadcast message because the host still don't have an IP Address. The DHCP Request messge goal is to confirm to the server the acceptation of that IP.

DHCP request doesn't must be sent in broadcast mode only. DHCP requeste is normaly a broascast since the 4 way-handshake (DORA), but is also sent such as unicast in the Lease renewal and rebinding expiry DHCP process.
