QuestionQ509

IP Services

What are two reasons to implement DHCP in a network?

Choose two
  • A manually control and configure IP addresses on network devices
  • B control the length of time an IP address is used by a network device
  • C reduce administration time in managing IP address ranges for clients
  • D dynamic control over the best path to reach an IP address
  • E access a website by name instead of by IP address
Explanation

DHCP is used to automatically assign IP configuration to client devices, which reduces the administrative effort required to manage client IP address ranges. It also assigns addresses by lease, so administrators can control how long a device keeps an IP address before renewal or reassignment. Name resolution is provided by DNS, and path selection is handled by routing, not DHCP.
