A network administrator needs to connect a department to a new network segment. They need to use a DHCP server located on another network. Which of the following can the administrator use to complete this task?
Show answer
Answer: A
Explanation
IP Helper is a feature used on routers or Layer 3 switches that allows the forwarding of DHCP broadcast messages from clients on one network to a DHCP server located on a different network. Since DHCP typically uses broadcast communication, a router will not forward this broadcast by default. By configuring an IP Helper Address, the router knows to forward the DHCP requests to the specified DHCP server.
