Which of the following services is responsible for assigning, managing, and reclaiming IP addresses on a TCP/IP-based network?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The service that is responsible for assigning, managing, and reclaiming IP addresses on a TCP/IP-based network is DHCP. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a service that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, etc., to computers or devices on a network. DHCP helps simplify the administration and management of IP addresses on a network, as well as avoid conflicts or errors caused by manual or duplicate assignments. DHCP also allows computers or devices to release or renew their IP addresses when they join or leave the network. The other options are either different services or not related to IP addresses at all. For example, DNS, or Domain Name System, is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa; LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a service that provides access to directory information such as users, groups, or devices on a network; ISMTP is not a valid acronym or service.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 2.0 Database Deployment, Objective 2.1 Given a scenario, select an appropriate database deployment method.

Wait, is it really just DHCP? I thought DNS was involved too.

I’m almost certain it’s DHCP. I remember it being mentioned in the context of network configuration.

I’m a bit confused between DHCP and DNS. I know DNS resolves names, but I can’t recall what DHCP specifically does.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I believe DHCP is the right answer for managing IP addresses.

I think it's DHCP, but I’m not completely sure. I remember it has something to do with dynamic IP addresses.
