refer to the exhibit. pc1 is configured to obtain a dynamic ip address from the dhcp server. pc1 has been shut down for two weeks. when pc1 boots and tries to request an available ip address, which destination ip address will pc1 place in the ip header?

When PC1 boots and tries to request an available IP address from the DHCP server after being shut down for two weeks, PC1 will place the destination IP address 255.255.255.255 in the IP header. This is the broadcast address used to reach the DHCP server when the client does not have an assigned IP address yet and is trying to obtain one dynamically. This broadcast IP ensures that the DHCP request packet reaches all DHCP servers on the local network segment since PC1 does not initially know the DHCP server's specific IP address. The source IP address in this request is typically 0.0.0.0 because the client does not have a valid IP address at this stage. Thus, the destination IP address in the IP header for the DHCP request is 255.255.255.255.
