A help desk technician plugged in a user’s new computer to a network port. After a few minutes, the computer showed an APIPA address. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason this happened?
A.
The WLAN is disabling the NIC card.
B.
The network cable is not attached.
C.
The PC is unable to contact a DHCP server.
D.
The DHCP server is using addresses in the range of 169.254.254.1.
C. The PC is unable to contact a DHCP server.
An APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address is assigned to a device when it fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. This typically occurs when:
DHCP server is unavailable: The DHCP server might be down, overloaded, or misconfigured.
Network connectivity issues: The device might not be able to reach the DHCP server due to network cable issues, switch problems, or firewall restrictions.
In this case, since the computer was just plugged in, the most likely cause is that it's unable to contact a DHCP server due to network connectivity issues or a DHCP server issue.
