Which MIB monitors network traffic between DHCP servers and remote hosts?

• A. DHCP.MIB
• B. HOSTMIB.MIB
• C. LNMIB2.MIB
• D. MIB_II.MIB

Answer: (A)

Monitoring DHCP activity with a DHCP-specific MIB. The DHCP-MIB defines objects that let you observe how a DHCP server interacts with clients—tracking lease events, active leases, and the message exchange (DISCOVER, OFFER, REQUEST, ACK) that occurs between servers and remote hosts. This directly relates to monitoring the traffic between DHCP servers and hosts, since you’re looking at DHCP service activity and how addresses are distributed and managed. Other MIBs serve different purposes: HOST-MIB focuses on general host resources on devices, not DHCP protocol traffic; MIB-II covers basic network interface and IP statistics, not DHCP-specific activity; and LNMIB2.MIB is not a standard DHCP-related MIB.
