Question 560
For remote troubleshooting at a financial services WAN in Toronto, a maintenance test revisits the fault: A central DHCP server selects the wrong scope for remote clients because the relay's gateway address is unexpected. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for dhcp giaddr subnet selection. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Verify relay interface addressing and giaddr handling so the server can choose the correct scope', actually resolved the reported issue at a financial services WAN in Toronto. The original failure was: A central DHCP server selects the wrong scope for remote clients because the relay's gateway address is unexpected.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies dhcp relay helper address in a different situation, such as when broadcast DHCPDISCOVER packets from remote VLAN clients never reach the central DHCP server. For the reported dhcp giaddr subnet selection incident at a financial services WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: The server issues leases from the subnet associated with the actual relay client segment. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies dhcpv6 duid identity in a different situation, such as when an administrator assumes DHCPv6 reservations use only a client MAC address and the intended client consistently misses its reserved lease. For the reported dhcp giaddr subnet selection incident at a financial services WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: The server issues leases from the subnet associated with the actual relay client segment. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies dhcp duplicate leased ip in a different situation, such as when the DHCP server offers an IPv4 address already in use and hosts report duplicate-address alerts. For the reported dhcp giaddr subnet selection incident at a financial services WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: The server issues leases from the subnet associated with the actual relay client segment. This other result does not test that condition directly.
