CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 269

A technician is setting up a small office that consists of five Windows 10 computers. The technician has been asked to use a simple IP configuration without manually adding any IP addresses. Which of the following will the technician MOST likely use for the IP address assignment?

Answer options

• A. Static
• B. Router-assigned
• C. APIPA
• D. DHCP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, DHCP, as it automates the process of assigning IP addresses to devices on a network, which is ideal for a small office environment. Options A (Static) and B (Router-assigned) require manual intervention or configuration, while C (APIPA) is only used when no DHCP server is available, making it less suitable for this scenario.
