Which networking protocol is used to assign IP addresses dynamically to devices on a network?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
- The networking protocol used to assign IP addresses dynamically to devices on a network is called the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
- DHCP enables devices to obtain IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network configuration parameters automatically from a DHCP server.
- This allows for efficient management of IP addresses within a network and simplifies the process of connecting devices to the network.
