A student configures a wireless SOHO network to connect four laptops and one multifunction printer. All laptops must have internet access and be able to use the printer. Which of the following…

Question

Options

• AConfigure dynamic IPs for the laptops and a static IP for the printer on the same subnet.
• BManually assign IP addresses to the laptops and printer based on the public IP from the ISP.
• CUse APIPA for laptops and connect the printer to the ISP router.
• DUse dynamic IP addresses from the ISP router for all the devices.

• A
  81% (26)
• B
  9% (3)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Static IP for the printer: A printer needs a consistent, unchanging IP address so that all devices on the network can reliably find and connect to it. If the printer uses a dynamic IP (DHCP) and the address changes (e.g., after a power outage or a lease expiration), other devices will not be able to find it using the old address. Dynamic IPs for the laptops: Laptops are mobile devices that frequently connect to and disconnect from networks. Using dynamic IP addresses assigned by the SOHO router's DHCP server is a standard and efficient way to manage their network configurations automatically. Same subnet: All devices must be on the same local network subnet to communicate directly with each other (including the router for internet access) in a SOHO environment.
