Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

DHCP Options: DHCP options allow additional configuration parameters, such as the address of a TFTP server, to be provided to clients during the DHCP lease process. This is essential for VoIP phones to locate the server for configuration files.

Exclusions (A): Prevents certain IP addresses from being assigned by DHCP but does not direct devices to servers.

Lease time (B): Determines how long an IP address is assigned but does not impact TFTP settings.

Scope (D): Defines a range of IP addresses but does not include additional server information.

I'm feeling a bit 'Excluded' from this question. But seriously, the answer has to be 'Options' - that's where the TFTP server address is usually set.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Scope could also be a possible answer since it defines the range of IP addresses that can be assigned.

Hmm, Lease time? I don't think that's gonna help the phones find the TFTP server. Maybe the answer is hidden in the 'Options' menu.

Let's check the 'Options' menu to see if we can configure the TFTP server there.

Options, duh! That's where you configure the TFTP server address for the phones to download the config from.
