Which Configurations are Required for DHCP Server to Enable Client Internet Access?

AE.

For client computers to access the Internet when using DHCP, the DHCP server must have configurations for at least the gateway address and subnet mask.

Explanation: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and related network configuration information to devices on a network. When a client computer is configured to use DHCP, it sends a broadcast message requesting an IP address and other network settings. The DHCP server responds with an offer of an IP address and related network configuration information.

The gateway address and subnet mask are both critical pieces of network configuration information that must be provided by the DHCP server for clients to access the Internet. The gateway address is the IP address of the router that connects the local network to the Internet. Clients use the gateway address to send traffic to the Internet. Without the gateway address, clients would not be able to communicate with devices outside of their local network.

The subnet mask is used to divide a network into smaller subnetworks. It is used in conjunction with the IP address to determine which devices are on the local network and which devices are on a different network. Without the correct subnet mask, clients may not be able to communicate with other devices on the local network or may send traffic to the wrong network segment.

The other options listed in the answer choices (SNA server, mail server, and web server) are not related to DHCP and are not required for clients to access the Internet using DHCP.
