Which ipconfig command retrieves a new IP address from the DHCP server?
- A.
/retrieve
- B.
/newIP
- C.

The correct answer is "/renew". This command is used in the ipconfig utility to request a new IP address from the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. When the "/renew" command is executed, the computer sends a request to the DHCP server to release the current IP address and assign a new one. This is useful in situations where the IP address lease has expired or when a different IP address is needed for troubleshooting or network configuration purposes.Rate this question:
