CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 85

A technician is configuring a SOHO device. Company policy dictates that static IP addresses cannot be used. The company wants the server to maintain the same
IP address at all times. Which of the following should the technician use?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, DHCP reservation, as it allows a specific device to always receive the same IP address from the DHCP server without violating the static IP policy. Options B (Port forwarding) and D (NAT) relate to network routing and address translation, which do not ensure a consistent IP assignment. Option C (DNS A record) provides a way to resolve domain names to IP addresses but does not control the IP assignment itself.
