ITPEC IP October 2024 Question 34
ITPEC IP October 2024 — Question 34 of 100
A DHCP server automatically supplies the PC with an IP address and other network configuration. When the PC joins the LAN, the DHCP exchange lets it obtain a leased IP address and commonly related parameters such as the subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses. This avoids manually configuring a unique IP address on every client.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) virus definition files are distributed by security-software update services, not DHCP
- (c) spam-address lists belong to mail filtering or security services
- (d) an ISP or mail administrator provisions e-mail addresses; DHCP configures network-layer parameters
Key rule: DHCP dynamically assigns host network settings, especially the IP address needed to communicate on an IP network.
