ITPEC FE Morning October 2018 Question 34
ITPEC FE Morning October 2018 — Question 34 of 80
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) — automatically assigns IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways to clients.
DHCP is an application layer protocol that enables a server to dynamically configure network settings on client devices without manual setup.
Why not others:
- (a) ARP — resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses, does not assign network configuration
- (c) DNS — resolves domain names to IP addresses
- (d) NSLOOKUP — a command-line utility for querying DNS, not a protocol
Key rule: DHCP = automatic network configuration; ARP = IP-to-MAC resolution; DNS = name-to-IP resolution.
