Question:
There is a network with two Windows Server systems and 65 Windows desktop systems. At 10 a.m., an administrator receives calls from three users who complain that they are undergoing the issue of network connection. During the investigation, he discovers that the DHCP server has broken down. How can you respond to those users that the DHCP server failure is the reason for the connection issues?
A
When you check their systems, they have an IP address from the 169.254.x.x range.
explanation
It operates APIPA to assign itself an address from the 169.254.x.x address range when a Windows desktop system that is configured to get an IP address via DHCP can not gain an address. A system that does not support APIPA causes an address of 0.0.0.0 naturally. APIPA does not utilize the 192.168.x.x address range. The IP address 255.255.255.255 is the broadcast address. A DHCP failure would not cause a system that assigns itself this address.
