CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 455

A user is unable to connect to network resources. A technician discovers that the user's device has an invalid static IP address. Which of the following should the technician configure on the user's device to request an IP address?

Answer options

• A. SSH
• B. FTP
• C. DHCP
• D. DNS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, DHCP, because it allows devices to automatically request and receive an IP address from a server. Options A (SSH) and B (FTP) are protocols used for secure shell access and file transfer, respectively, and do not relate to IP address assignment. Option D (DNS) translates domain names to IP addresses but does not assign IP addresses to devices.
