A server technician works in a small environment where servers and computers reside on the subnet. Which of the following should the technician create to ensure the servers have the same network…

Manual host entries (hosts file) provide static name-to-IP mappings for name resolution but do not control or standardize network settings delivered to clients.

A DHCP reservation maps a client's MAC address to a specific IP address within the DHCP server, guaranteeing the same IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are delivered on every lease renewal. This eliminates manual per-device configuration while maintaining consistency across all servers on the subnet.

Manual DNS entries define name resolution records on the DNS server and have no role in assigning or enforcing consistent network configuration on clients.

A NAT address pool defines a range of public IP addresses used for outbound translation and does not assign or standardize internal network settings to specific servers.
