An administrator has decided to create 10 ESXi 6.x hosts via Auto Deploy for a new Test/Dev cluster. The hosts are configured to obtain their networking configuration via DHCP.
Which condition would explain why none of the hosts are able to receive a valid DHCP address?
A. The BIOS DHCP File Name was incorrectly entered on the DHCP server.
B. The DHCP scope was set too small.
C. The DHCP lease duration is set too short.
D. The Boot Server Host Name has been set to the TFTP server.
B seems to be a more accurate answer here. DHCP scope set to small will limit the distribution of addresses (and the address space may already be exhausted). The BIOS DHCP File Name is a PXE (/iPXE) option to set directing the host to the correct file to download from the TFTP server to enable booting. If the host cannot obtain a DHCP lease from the scope, it wouldn’t be able to communicate with the TFTP server.
