Why is it easy to make a mistake when dealing with static IP address configuration?

  • Static IP configuration requires manual withdrawal of IP addresses
  • Static IP configuration does not require exact parameters
  • The DHCP server does not support static IP configuration
  • Typographical errors are difficult to troubleshoot (correct)

What is the consequence of an IP address conflict between two devices in a network?

  • One or both of the devices cannot be connected (correct)
  • Both devices will be automatically assigned new IP addresses
  • The network administrator must manually resolve the conflict
