An administrator notices that newly deployed servers fail to receive addresses. Logs indicate repeated attempts to request addresses, but no replies are received. Investigation shows the address pool is at capacity. Which option best addresses this scenario?
Expand the allocated range to include more addresses
Change the gateway address on all new servers
Add an additional subnet on the same VLAN
Enable different address types in the server defaults
When the pool is at capacity, enlarging the range allows additional addresses for new deployments. The other options do not correct the shortage problem. Reassigning the gateway or enabling a different address type will not increase the number of available addresses. Placing another subnet on the same VLAN might produce confusion without resolving the original lack of addresses.
