A DHCP server’s IP exclusion configuration option allows network administrators to remove a single IP address or a range of IP addresses from the pool of addresses being assigned automatically to the requesting DHCP client computers. IP exclusion prevents other DHCP clients from requesting an IP address statically assigned to other essential network hosts (e.g. servers, or a wireless printers) via DHCP reservation.

True
A range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can lease out to DHCP clients is known as:
- Lease
- Reservation
- Pool

Scope
The duration of time a DHCP client can use an IP address dynamically assigned by the DHCP server is referred to as:
- Option
- Reservation
- Scope
- Lease
Lease
An IPv4 packet header field that specifies how many more hops a packet can travel before being discarded is called:
- SPB
- TTL
- MTU
- DSCP
TTL
Networked clients not residing on the same subnet as the DHCP server can still obtain an IP address from the server through a DHCP relay agent (a.k.a. IP helper).
