DHCP Flashcards
What is a DHCP scope?
A DHCP scope is a range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can assign to devices on a network.
What are exclusion ranges in DHCP?
Exclusion ranges are specific IP addresses within a DHCP scope that are reserved and will not be assigned to devices.
What is a DHCP reservation?
A DHCP reservation is a specific IP address within a scope that is permanently assigned to a particular device based on its MAC address.
What is dynamic assignment in DHCP?
Dynamic assignment is when the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to a device from the available pool of addresses.
What is static assignment in DHCP?
Static assignment is when an IP address is manually assigned to a device and is not managed by the DHCP server.
What is lease time in DHCP?
Lease time is the duration for which a DHCP server allocates an IP address to a device before it must be renewed or reassigned.
What are scope options in DHCP?
Scope options are additional settings provided by the DHCP server, such as default gateway, DNS servers, and subnet mask, which are assigned along with the IP address.
What are available leases in DHCP?
Available leases are the number of IP addresses that are free to be assigned within the DHCP scope.
What is a DHCP relay?
A DHCP relay is a device that forwards DHCP requests from clients on remote subnets to a central DHCP server.

IP helper/UDP forwarding is a function that forwards DHCP requests and other UDP broadcasts from one subnet to another, typically used with DHCP relays.
