ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 34
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 34 of 100
A DHCP server automatically supplies the PC with an IP address and related network configuration. A lease can also include the subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers, and other options needed to communicate.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- antivirus services distribute virus definitions
- spam-filtering systems maintain unwanted-sender information
- an e-mail provider assigns and manages mail addresses
- none of these is part of DHCP's host-configuration role
Key rule: DHCP dynamically leases IP configuration to network clients, reducing manual addressing work and conflicts.
