A network administrator configures a new DHCP scope on a centralized server to service clients on VLAN 20 (subnet ). Users on VLAN 20 report that they can successfully communicate with other local hosts on VLAN 20, but cannot access external networks or corporate servers located on other subnets. Running `ipconfig /all` on an affected client displays an IPv4 address of with a subnet mask of , but the Default Gateway field is empty. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?
- DHCP Option 003 (Router) was not configured within the DHCP scope settings.Cevap
- BThe router interface serving VLAN 20 is missing an IP helper address configuration.
- CThe client host failed to contact the DHCP server and auto-generated an APIPA address.
- DThe IP address is reserved as the broadcast address for the subnet.
Cevap
DHCP Option 003 (Router) was not configured within the DHCP scope settings.
DHCP clients require specific options to configure network settings beyond basic IP address assignment. DHCP Option 003 delivers the default gateway IP address to clients. When Option 003 is omitted from a scope configuration, clients receive valid IP addresses and subnet masks allowing local Layer 2 traffic, but lack the default gateway setting required to route packets to external subnets.
