CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 513

A network technician needs to dedicate a range of addresses in DHCP for statically assigned servers and network devices. Which of the following should be configured to BEST accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Static addressing
• B. Subnetting
• C. Advertisements
• D. Exclusions

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best method to ensure that certain addresses are not assigned to DHCP clients while allowing for static assignments is to use exclusions. Static addressing would require manual configuration on each device, subnetting is about dividing networks, and advertisements do not relate to DHCP address allocation.
