ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 Question 33
ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 33 of 80
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) — automatically assigns network settings to clients.
A DHCP server provides clients with:
- IP address
- Subnet mask
- Default gateway
- DNS server address
Why not others:
- (a) ARP — resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses, not a configuration protocol
- (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 for clients.
