Why each option
The administrator needs to assign networks in a private cloud test environment configured with a /20 network. DHCP is the standard protocol for automatically assigning IP addresses and other network parameters to hosts.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to automatically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. This automates the process of network assignment for guests in the private cloud environment, ensuring efficient allocation within the /20 network.
A subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network and defines the range of available IP addresses, but it is not a mechanism for assigning addresses to hosts.
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is used to logically segment a network into separate broadcast domains for organization and security, but it does not assign IP addresses.
A Gateway is a network device that forwards traffic between different networks, typically providing access to external networks, but it does not assign IP addresses to hosts.
