CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 367

A network technician recently installed 35 additional workstations. After installation, some users are unable to access network resources. Many of the original workstations that are experiencing the network access issue were offline when the new workstations were turned on. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. Incorrect VLAN setting
• B. Insufficient DHCP scope
• C. Improper NIC setting
• D. Duplicate IP address

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most likely cause of the issue is an Insufficient DHCP scope, as there may not be enough IP addresses available for all the devices on the network after the new workstations were added. Incorrect VLAN settings, improper NIC settings, and duplicate IP addresses are less likely causes in this scenario, particularly since the original workstations were offline when the new ones were turned on.
