Explanation
The DHCP server and the client use broadcasts to communicate with each other. The list below describes
the method clients use to obtain an address from a DHCP server.
DHCP Discover: the client begins by sending out a DHCP Discover broadcast to identify DHCP servers on
the network.
DHCP Offer: a DHCP server that receives a Discover advertisement from a client responds with a DHCP
offer. The offer contains a proposed IP address lease. If more than one DHCP server sends an offer
packet, the client usually responds to the first DHCP offer that it receives.
DHCP Request--The client accepts the offered address lease by responding with a DHCP Request
broadcast.
DHCP ACK--The DHCP server responds to the request by sending a DHCP ACK (acknowledgement)
broadcast. At this point, the IP address lease is established between the client and the server.
Rachel is a junior system administrator for a network with a single Active Directory domain. The network
has just expanded to include an additional subnet. Rachel has installed a new server running Windows
Server 2016 on the new subnet and configured it as a DHCP server.
When she checks the server icon in the DHCP Management console, she notices the server has a down
icon. The DHCP server service has started, but the server does not respond to DHCP lease requests.
What should Rachel do to solve the problem? - correct answer ✔✔Ask a member of the Enterprise
Admins group to authorize the server.
