Multiple Choices
(Choose 1 answer)
When a client is requesting an initial address lease from a DHCP server, why is the DHCPREQUEST
message sent as a broadcast?
A. The client does not yet know the IP address of the DHCP server that sent the offer.
B. The client may have received offers from multiple servers, and the broadcast serves to implicitly decline
those other offers.
C. The client does not have a MAC address assigned yet, so it cannot send a unicast message at Layer 2.
D. The DHCP server may be on a different subnet, so the request must be sent as a broadcast.
