CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 187

A technician is setting up a SOHO wireless router and needs to adhere to the following requirements:
* The router should not assign network addresses to any device.
* All devices in the office must be able to access network resources and the Internet.
Which of the following should the technician perform to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Assign static IP addresses on all devices.
• B. Set up MAC filtering for all devices.
• C. Place all devices in a DMZ.
• D. Enable port forwarding for all devices.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because assigning static IP addresses to all devices allows them to communicate on the network without the router assigning addresses dynamically. The other options, such as MAC filtering, DMZ placement, and port forwarding, do not address the requirement of not assigning network addresses and do not ensure that all devices can access the necessary resources.
