300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to verify DHCPv4…
A network engineer runs the following command to verify DHCPv4 server statistics on router R1:
R1# show ip dhcp server statistics
Output: Memory usage: 12345 Address pools: 2 Database agents: 0 Automatic bindings: 150 Manual bindings: 5 Expired bindings: 10 Malformed messages: 0
Message Received
BOOTREQUEST 0
DHCPDISCOVER 200 DHCPREQUEST 180 DHCPDECLINE 2 DHCPRELEASE 5 DHCPINFORM 10
What does this output indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the ability to distinguish between message types in the 'Received' table, specifically confusing DHCPDISCOVER with DHCPREQUEST counts, as candidates may misread the output under time pressure.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The DHCP server has 150 active automatic bindings and 5 manual bindings.
The 'Automatic bindings: 150' and 'Manual bindings: 5' fields directly indicate the number of active leases assigned dynamically (via DHCP) and statically (via manual configuration), respectively. These represent the current active bindings on the DHCP server, with no other interpretation needed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The DHCP server has 150 active automatic bindings and 5 manual bindings.
Why this is correct
The output shows 'Automatic bindings: 150' and 'Manual bindings: 5', indicating the number of active leases.
- ✗
The DHCP server has received 200 DHCPREQUEST messages.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows 180 DHCPREQUEST messages received, not 200.
- ✗
The DHCP server has 10 malformed messages, indicating a configuration issue.
Why it's wrong here
Malformed messages are 0, so no malformed messages were received.
- ✗
The DHCP server has 2 database agents configured.
Why it's wrong here
Database agents are 0, meaning no external database is used for lease storage.
