SK0-004 · Question #328
For client computers to access the Internet when using DHCP, the DHCP server must have configurations for at LEAST which of the following? (Select TWO).
The correct answer is A. Gateway address E. Subnet mask. For a DHCP client to route traffic to the Internet, the DHCP server must supply at minimum a subnet mask to define the local network boundary and a default gateway address to forward packets beyond that boundary.

Why each option
For a DHCP client to route traffic to the Internet, the DHCP server must supply at minimum a subnet mask to define the local network boundary and a default gateway address to forward packets beyond that boundary.
The gateway address (default gateway) tells the client where to send packets destined for hosts outside its local subnet, which is essential for any Internet communication.
SNA (Systems Network Architecture) is a legacy IBM protocol unrelated to IP networking and not required for Internet connectivity.
A mail server address is an application-layer configuration and is not required for basic IP routing or Internet access at the network layer.
A web server address is not a network configuration parameter; it is an application destination and has no bearing on whether a client can reach the Internet.
The subnet mask allows the client to determine which IP addresses are local versus remote. Without it, the host cannot correctly identify whether a destination requires routing through the gateway.
