CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 519

A technician is setting up a network printer for a customer who has a SOHO router. The technician wants to make sure the printer stays connected in the future and is available on all the computers in the house. Which of the following should the technician configure on the printer?

Answer options

• A. DNS settings
• B. Static IP
• C. WWAN
• D. Metered connection

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Configuring a Static IP on the printer ensures that it retains the same IP address, allowing all devices on the network to consistently access it without interruptions. In contrast, DNS settings are not necessary for printer connectivity, WWAN is irrelevant for local network printers, and a Metered connection is not applicable in this context.
