You have been tasked with implementing a new server in your company's network which will be responsible for assigning IP addresses to client machines dynamically. Which role should you configure the server for?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Fileshare server
Domain Name System
Syslog server
The correct answer is DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), since it is the role a server takes to dynamically distribute network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, for interfaces and services. With DHCP, client machines can “lease” an IP address for a certain period of time. DNS (Domain Name System) serves as the phonebook for the internet, translating domain names to IP addresses, not dynamically assigning them. Syslog is used for logging and monitoring network devices, not for assigning IP addresses. A fileshare server is used for storing and sharing files, not assigning IP addresses.
