CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 306

An engineer is installing a new wireless printer with a static IP address on the Wi-Fi network. Which feature must be enabled and configured to prevent connection issues with the printer?

Answer options

• A. client exclusion
• B. DHCP address assignment
• C. passive client
• D. static IP tunneling

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, passive client, as this feature allows devices with static IP addresses to connect without interference from DHCP services. The other options, such as client exclusion and DHCP address assignment, could create issues for a device using a static IP, while static IP tunneling is not a relevant feature for this scenario.
