Selected Answer: A

The correct answer is A. Static entry. Explanation: APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing): This is the correct identification of the IP address range 169.254.0.0/16. It indicates that the device has self-assigned an IP address because it couldn't obtain one from a DHCP server. Static IP Address: To restore communication, the technician should assign a static IP address to the new machine. This involves manually configuring the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses. GG

Selected Answer: A

it does not have a DHCP server. so only way to restore communication with rest of the network is assign static entry. we know 169.254.x.x is a APIPA address but in the question , they didn't ask about this ip address. they asked , what action has to be taken to communicate with entire network.
