Q: How is a computer’s IP address determined while utilizing Fixed Allocation DHCP?
- An A Record
- A subnet mask
- A MAC address
- Location
Explanation: With the use of Fixed Allocation DHCP, also known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, the Internet Protocol (IP) address that is issued to a computer is established by using the MAC address of the machine. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers are responsible for maintaining a mapping of Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to particular Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. This mapping ensures that every device obtains the same IP address whenever it connects to the network.
