Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the mode for obtaining the IAD IP address?

Question

Options

• ASet a static IP address for the IAD.
• BDynamically obtain the IP address through DHCP.
• CAllow eSight to deliver the IAD IP address.
• DObtain the IP address through PPPoE.

• A
  10% (4)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  82% (32)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

Option C is incorrect because eSight is a network management and monitoring platform - it does not function as an IP address delivery mechanism for IADs. IP address provisioning is handled at the network/protocol level, not pushed down from an NMS like eSight.

Options A (static IP), B (DHCP), and D (PPPoE) are all legitimate and commonly used methods for an IAD to obtain its IP address: static assignment gives administrators fixed control, DHCP automates dynamic allocation from a pool, and PPPoE is widely used in broadband/DSL deployments where authentication is required before an IP is assigned.

Memory tip: Think of eSight as a watcher, not a giver - it observes and manages devices after they're online, but it doesn't hand out IP addresses the way DHCP or PPPoE does. If you see an NMS (Network Management System) listed as an IP source, that's your red flag.
