D. While DHCP reservations can be useful for devices that need a static IP address, printers are a prime example of devices that benefit from them. Here's why: Consistent IP Address: A static IP address ensures that the printer's IP address remains constant, making it easier to configure and manage network printing. Reliable Network Connectivity: A static IP address prevents the printer from losing its network connection if the DHCP server is unavailable or experiences issues. Simplified Network Configuration: With a static IP address, you can easily configure network settings on the printer without worrying about DHCP assignments. Therefore, using a DHCP reservation for a printer is a common and effective practice to ensure reliable network connectivity. GG

. Printer: Printers often need a consistent IP address to ensure that print jobs are reliably sent to the correct device. This is particularly important in network environments where many devices need to access the printer.

Selected Answer: D
This ensures that the client will always get the same IP address from the DHCP server when it connects to the network. DHCP reservations are usually used with servers or printers on your internal network and are rarely used with end-user or client devices.

C. Workstation A DHCP reservation is typically applied to a workstation, which ensures that the same IP address is always assigned to that specific workstation by the DHCP server. This is useful when certain devices on the network, like workstations or servers, need to have consistent and predictable IP addresses for various reasons, such as network configurations, access controls, or services that rely on specific IP addresses.

In order to set a static IP address you need to reserve that in DHCP. If you assign a static IP to a printer and dont reserve it in DHCP, how does DHCP know that it can't give that IP to another system. The answer is printer.

Right answer but for the wrong reason! Reservations are Dynamic not Static. Its a part of DHCP where you reserve addresses for specific devices based on their MAC address

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) reservation is a network configuration that assigns a static IP address to a specific device based on its unique MAC address. This ensures that the device always receives the same IP address, even if it's rebooted or reconnected to the network.
