200-301 · Question #1527
What are two reasons to implement DHCP in a network? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. control the length of time an IP address is used by a network device C. reduce administration time in managing IP address ranges for clients. Implementing DHCP in a network reduces administrative overhead by automating IP address assignments and allows for control over how long devices retain their assigned IP addresses.

Why each option
Implementing DHCP in a network reduces administrative overhead by automating IP address assignments and allows for control over how long devices retain their assigned IP addresses.
DHCP's primary purpose is to automate IP address configuration, which is the opposite of manually controlling and configuring IP addresses on network devices.
DHCP enables administrators to define lease times for IP addresses, which controls how long a client can use an assigned IP address before needing to renew it, aiding in efficient IP address management.
DHCP automates the assignment of IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to clients, which significantly reduces the manual administration time required to manage IP address ranges.
DHCP is responsible for IP address assignment and does not provide dynamic control over the best path to reach an IP address; that function is handled by routing protocols.
Accessing a website by name instead of by IP address is the function of DNS (Domain Name System), not DHCP.
