Explanation
To allow a DHCP server to serve clients on a different subnet, a DHCP relay agent must be provisioned.
Common mistakes.
- A. DHCP options are configuration parameters provided by the DHCP server to clients, but they do not enable the server to receive requests from different subnets.
- B. NIC teaming is used for redundancy or increased bandwidth of network interfaces on a single server and does not facilitate DHCP communication across subnets.
- C. Zone transfers are a function of DNS servers for replicating DNS data and are unrelated to DHCP client-server communication.
- E. A VLAN ID identifies a specific virtual local area network, but simply assigning a VLAN ID does not enable DHCP requests to cross subnet boundaries without a relay agent.
