Question

A user states that they cannot connect to the network or the Internet. The technician determines the issue is that the computer has a static IP address and needs to use DHCP to work correctly. The technician sets the NIC to automatically assign an IP address. Which of the following should the technician perform NEXT?

Options

  • AIdentify the type of network card and what Operating System the computer is running
  • BConfirm the computer is back on the network and has Internet connectivity
  • CThey need to annotate what the static IP address was and inform the employee's manager
  • DThey need to determine why the NIC was assigned a static IP address

Explanation

Following standard troubleshooting methodology, after implementing a fix, the immediate next step is to verify that the fix actually resolved the problem - this is the 'verify full system functionality' stage. The technician should confirm the computer now obtains a DHCP address and has both network and Internet access. Identifying the hardware or OS (A) is a preliminary step that should have occurred earlier. Annotating the static IP and notifying the manager (C) is an administrative action that comes after the problem is confirmed resolved. Investigating why the NIC had a static IP (D) is a valid follow-up step but not the immediate next action in the troubleshooting workflow.
