C. Confirm the network has a helper address for the DHCP server. A helper address (also known as IP Helper) is required when DHCP requests need to be forwarded across different network segments or VLANs. Configuring a helper address on routers or layer 3 switches allows DHCP messages to be relayed to the DHCP server located in a different subnet. Therefore, ensuring that the network has a helper address configured for the DHCP server is the first step in troubleshooting DHCP address assignment issues across VLANs.
