hich IP address is assigned to a network connection if the TCP/IP settings are set for static IP addressing and a DHCP server is running on the network?

Question:

Which IP address is assigned to a network connection if the TCP/IP settings are set for static IP addressing and a DHCP server is running on the network?

A) An Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) IP address is used

B) An error will occur and no IP address is assigned unless it is manually assigned at a command prompt

C) The IP address configured in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) dialogue box is used

D) The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is used

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

After the settings are changed from automatic to static, one must enter the address manually using the dialogue box and the spaces provided therein.

Any attempt to click okay will display an error requesting that the IP address be entered manually.

Static IP addresses are used when you don't want the Internet Protocol (IP) address to change.

Cheers!
