Which DHCP message is sent by the client to accept the offered IP address?

• A. DHCP Discover
• B. DHCP Request
• C. DHCP Acknowledge
• D. DHCP Offer

Answer: (B)

After a DHCP server offers an IP address, the client confirms that offer by sending a DHCP Request. This message communicates which proposed IP address the client has chosen and requests the server to proceed with leasing that address and providing the rest of the configuration. The server then replies with a DHCP Acknowledgement to finalize the lease and deliver any remaining configuration parameters. The other messages serve different steps: Discover is used to find DHCP servers, and the Offer is the server’s initial proposal, not a client action.
