    • Network Utility

    • Network Preferences

    • Sharing Preferences

    • Ipconfig

This can be useful in scenarios where a static IP address is required for network configuration or specific network services.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    You have received a call from a client who is having issues browsing the web and is unable to receive emails. After talking the customer through the right command, you ask the customer to provide their IP address to which the customer responds with the IP address of 169.254.6.19. Which of the following statements are true?

    • The client has received a valid IP address from a DHCP server.

    • The client has received an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) from the DHCP server.

    • The client was able to receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server.

    • The client was not able to receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server.

    Correct Answer
    A. The client was not able to receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server.
    Explanation
    The IP address provided by the customer (169.254.6.19) falls within the range of Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). APIPA is a feature in Windows that allows a device to automatically assign itself an IP address if it cannot obtain one from a DHCP server. Since the customer provided this IP address, it suggests that their device was unable to receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server. Therefore, the statement "The client was not able to receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server" is true.

    A. A WiFi network name.
    Explanation
    The SSID stands for Service Set Identifier and it is a unique name that identifies a WiFi network. It is used to differentiate between different wireless networks in the vicinity. When connecting to a WiFi network, devices search for the SSID to identify the network they want to connect to. Therefore, the correct answer is "A WiFi network name."

POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) is used by email clients to retrieve emails from the email server. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is another protocol used by email clients to access and manage emails on the email server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is not an email protocol, but a protocol used for synchronizing the time on computer systems.
