CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 39

Several computers are having network connectivity issues. Two of the computers are wired and are not having any issues. The technician verifies that none of the computers having issues have been assigned a static IP.
Which of the following should the technician check NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Check the closest AP for the area.
• B. Check each wireless adapter switch.
• C. Check the group's network switch.
• D. Check the DHCP server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the DHCP server is responsible for dynamically assigning IP addresses to devices on the network. If the computers are not receiving valid IP addresses, they will have connectivity issues. The other options are less relevant because they do not directly relate to the assignment of IP addresses.
