What is the purpose of using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) in a network?
- To manually troubleshoot IP address conflicts
- To statically allocate IP addresses to computers, laptops, and smartphones
- To assign IP addresses to network devices like routers, switches, and servers (correct)
- To eliminate the need for IP addresses
Why is it easy to make a mistake when dealing with statically configured IP addresses?
Why is it easy to make a mistake when dealing with statically configured IP addresses?
- The configuration parameters are exact
- There is no possibility of IP address conflicts
- The DHCP server cannot minimize errors
- Typographical errors are difficult to troubleshoot (correct)
What happens if an IP address conflict occurs between two devices in a network?
What happens if an IP address conflict occurs between two devices in a network?
- The network automatically assigns a new IP address to one of the conflicting devices
- The conflict has no impact on network connectivity
- The devices ignore the conflict and continue to function normally
- One or both of the devices cannot be connected (correct)
