CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1075

What are two reasons to implement DHCP in a network? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• 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

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because DHCP automates the process of assigning IP addresses, thus reducing the time spent on administration and allowing for better management of IP address leasing durations. Option A is incorrect as it refers to manual configuration, which DHCP aims to eliminate, while options D and E do not pertain to DHCP functionalities.
