Why is it important to define an IP address range within a DHCP scope?

• To limit which devices can receive IP addresses

• To specify a pool of addresses available for automatic assignment

• To control the speed of network connections

• To ensure all devices are assigned the same IP address

When setting up a DHCP scope, why might you include certain addresses as "excluded" from the range?

• To ensure all addresses are dynamic

• To prevent network congestion

• To reserve addresses for critical network devices with static IPs

• To limit the number of users on the network

What is the purpose of configuring the lease duration within a DHCP scope?

• To decide when clients should renew their IP address

• To control the speed of IP address assignment

• To determine how long the DHCP server will stay active

• To limit the total number of IP addresses available

How does adding the default gateway information in the DHCP scope benefit network clients?

• It restricts access to certain IP addresses

• It ensures all clients use the same subnet

• It allows clients to communicate outside of their local network

• It provides a backup IP address for each client

When configuring DHCP options for Voice over IP (VoIP) devices, which option is most appropriate to include in the DHCP scope?

• IP address for the VoIP gateway

• Subnet mask

• Exclusion range

• DNS server address

If you need to configure a DHCP scope for a subnet with the mask 255.255.255.0, what does this subnet mask indicate about the network configuration?

• This mask only allows static IP addresses in the scope

• There are 256 IP addresses, but only 254 are assignable to devices

• This mask applies to a class A network exclusively

• There are 256 available IP addresses, all of which are usable

Why would a DHCP administrator set a custom lease time for devices on a public network, such as in a coffee shop, instead of the default lease time?

• To reduce the subnet mask range

• To ensure devices are only temporarily assigned IP addresses

• To prevent certain devices from connecting

• To make IP address assignment faster for each client

In which scenario might a DHCP server use an alternate IP range within a scope?

• To provide additional addresses for mobile clients during peak hours

• To assign IP addresses based on device type

• To support failover in case of server downtime

• To prioritize certain devices for high-speed access

In which scenario would dynamic IP assignment be the most efficient choice?

• A networked printer that needs a constant IP address for easy access

• A public Wi-Fi network in a coffee shop with frequent device turnover

• A server that hosts essential files and applications

• A desktop computer in a small office with a stable connection

What is a primary advantage of using automatic assignment over dynamic assignment in a DHCP configuration?

• It prevents any IP address from expiring over time

• It provides a consistent IP address to devices needing stable network access

• It increases the total number of IP addresses available in the network

• It ensures devices receive different IP addresses each time they connect
