A PC obtains its IP address from a DHCP server. If the PC is taken off the network for repair, what happens to the IP address configuration?

  • The configuration is permanent and nothing changes.
  • The address lease is automatically renewed until the PC is returned
  • The address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires.
  • The configuration is held by the server to be reissued when the PC is returned.

Explanation: When a DCHP address is issued to a host, it is for a specific lease time. Once the lease expires, the address is returned to the DHCP pool.
