220-801 Question #1143: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Simplified configuration. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and related network settings to client devices, eliminating the need for manual static IP configuration on each machine. This greatly simplifies network administration, especially in large environments.

Question

Which of the following is an advantage of using DHCP for network addressing?

Options

ASimplified configuration
BMore addresses are available
CFaster connection speeds
DLower latency times

Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and related network settings to client devices, eliminating the need for manual static IP configuration on each machine. This greatly simplifies network administration, especially in large environments. DHCP does not increase the number of available IP addresses (the address pool is fixed by the network), nor does it affect connection speeds or latency - those are determined by the network hardware and topology.
