What is the destination IP address when an IPv4 host sends a DHCPDISCOVER message?

  • 224.0.0.1
  • 255.255.255.255
  • 192.168.1.1
  • 0.0.0.0

Explanation:

Because a DHCP client does not have a valid IPv4 address, it must use a broadcast IP address of 255.255.255.255 as the destination address to communicate with the DHCP server. The DHCPDISCOVER message sent by the client is the first message sent in order to make initial contact with a DHCP server.
