What is the primary reason for not wanting to provide an IP address to the requesting device?
What is the primary reason for not wanting to provide an IP address to the requesting device?
- To reduce the load on the DHCP server
- To prevent the device from accessing the network
- To prevent the IP address from being marked as used (correct)
- To improve the security of the network
What is the main benefit of splitting the address range between two DHCP servers?
What is the main benefit of splitting the address range between two DHCP servers?
- To reduce the load on each DHCP server
- To improve the security of the network
- To provide redundancy in case one DHCP server fails (correct)
- To increase the speed of IP address allocation
What happens when a DHCP server runs out of IP addresses and the other server still has some available?
What happens when a DHCP server runs out of IP addresses and the other server still has some available?
- The clients will be unable to obtain IP addresses
- The remaining IP addresses will be allocated to the clients (correct)
- The DHCP server will restart and try to allocate IP addresses again
- The IP address range will be dynamically adjusted

Study Notes
DHCP Server Implementation on a Next-Generation Firewall
- The topology consists of a firewall with an interface connected to the 10.1.0 network, which has a Windows computer and a Linux box, and is also connected to the rest of the internet.
Potential Challenges with Multiple DHCP Servers
- Having multiple DHCP servers on the same network can cause issues, as both servers will respond to a client's DHCPDISCOVER message with an Offer.
- A client will likely accept the first Offer received, leaving the second Offer unused.
DHCP Server Response and Fault Tolerance
- When a client accepts an Offer from one DHCP server, the second DHCP server will see the Request and understand that its Offer was not accepted, making the IP address available for other requests.
- To achieve fault tolerance, multiple DHCP servers can be configured to serve different IP address ranges, ensuring that if one server runs out of IP addresses or becomes unavailable, the other server can still provide IP addresses to clients.
