CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 53

A technician has installed multiple new PC clients and is connecting them to the network. Only one client is receiving IP addressing information. Which of the following should the technician verify as the NEXT troubleshooting step?

Answer options

• A. DHCP scope
• B. DHCP lease
• C. Default gateway
• D. DNS zone

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The DHCP scope defines the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to clients. If only one client is receiving an IP address, it is essential to check the DHCP scope to ensure that it is properly configured and has enough available addresses. The other options, while important for network configuration, do not directly relate to the issue of clients not receiving IP addresses.
