Question

A technician has deployed a network printer to be used by an office for centralized printing. Which of the following will prevent IP address changes from occurring?

Options

ADynamic
BDHCP reservation
CLink local
DDNS

Explanation

To ensure a network printer's IP address remains constant for reliable access, a DHCP reservation should be configured, preventing dynamic changes.

Common mistakes.

A. Dynamic IP addressing means the IP address can change over time, which is undesirable for a network printer that needs a stable address.
C. A link-local address is self-assigned by a device when no DHCP server is available and no static IP is configured, which is not suitable for a centralized network printer.
D. DNS (Domain Name System) translates hostnames to IP addresses but does not prevent the underlying IP address from changing; it merely maps a name to whatever IP is currently assigned.
