With which DHCPv6 device role does a switch reject a DHCP Offer message?

  • relay and server role
  • client role
  • server role
  • relay role

Explanation: In network security features such as DHCPv6 Guard, switch ports are assigned specific roles to protect against rogue DHCPv6 servers. An interface configured with the client role is treated as a port where only DHCPv6 clients are connected. Consequently, the switch will reject and drop any "server-to-client" messages—such as DHCP Offer (Advertisement) or Reply messages—if they arrive on a port designated as a client role, as these messages should only originate from trusted server or relay ports.
