Practice question 194 of 506 · easy

A Windows DHCP server is in a different routed subnet from its clients. Broadcast requests do not reach it. Which component is normally needed?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.A DHCP relay targeting the server
  2. B.A shorter lease as the broadcast-routing mechanism
  3. C.A DNS conditional forwarder
  4. D.A PTR record for each client
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • A DHCP relay targeting the server

A relay forwards the initial DHCP requests across the routed boundary and supplies subnet context. DNS forwarding and PTR records handle name resolution, not DHCP broadcast delivery. A shorter lease affects timing rather than making routers forward broadcasts.
