CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 121

A network administrator is troubleshooting issues with a DHCP server at a university. More students have recently arrived on campus, and the users are unable to obtain an IP address. Which of the following should the administrator do to address the issue?

Answer options

• A. Enable IP helper.
• B. Change the subnet mask.
• C. Increase the scope size.
• D. Add address exclusions.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as increasing the scope size allows the DHCP server to assign more IP addresses to accommodate the additional users. Options A and B do not directly address the issue of insufficient IP addresses, while option D would limit the available addresses rather than increase them.
