A newly installed VoIP phone is not getting the DHCP IP address it needs to connect to the phone system. Which of the following tasks need to be completed to allow the phone to operate correctly?

Answer options

• A. Assign the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN
• B. Statically assign the phone's gateway address
• C. Configure a route on the VoIP network router
• D. Implement a VoIP gateway

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because assigning the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN is essential for it to receive a DHCP IP address. Options B, C, and D do not address the immediate need for the phone to obtain an IP address via DHCP, which is crucial for its operation.
