CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question

Setting the lease time to one day would correspond well with the company's working hours. Each day, as employees come into the office and start their laptops, the lease would refresh, effectively managing the IP address pool without causing unnecessary network traffic from too frequent lease renewals. A one-week lease might seem like a more stable choice, but it lacks responsiveness to changes such as employee churn or device replacements. Conversely, a one-hour lease time would generate excessive network traffic due to frequent renewals and could potentially lead to connectivity issues. A one-month lease drastically reduces network traffic but holds reserved IPs on devices not in use, resulting in an inefficient use of the address pool given employee turnover and varied laptop usage.
