Question

A technician is setting up a SOHO wireless router and needs to adhere to the following requirements:

Options

  • AAssign static IP addresses on all devices.
  • BSet up MAC filtering for all devices
  • CPlace all devices in a DMZ.
  • DEnable port forwarding for all devices

Explanation

The requirement states the router must NOT assign network addresses - meaning DHCP must be disabled. However, all devices still need network and internet access. Without DHCP to hand out IP addresses automatically, each device must be manually configured with a static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server. This satisfies both requirements: no automatic address assignment from the router, yet full network connectivity for all devices. MAC filtering (B) controls which devices can connect but does not address IP assignment. Placing devices in a DMZ (C) affects security exposure, not IP assignment. Port forwarding (D) redirects inbound traffic on specific ports and is unrelated to resolving IP addressing for internal clients.
