A technician is configuring a SOHO network. During testing, the technician receives the IP address 169.254.2.2, but the router is assigned the address scope of 192.168.1.254/24. Which of the following is most likely the cause?
The correct answer is A. DHCP.
The IP address 169.254.2.2 is a Link-local address. It's automatically assigned to a device when it fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. This indicates that the device is not receiving a proper IP address from the DHCP server, which is likely the router in this case.

This is the protocol responsible for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on the network. The presence of an APIPA address suggests that the DHCP server on the router is not providing an IP address.
In a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) network, when a device receives an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x, it typically indicates that the device was unable to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. This range is reserved for Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), which allows devices to assign themselves a link-local IP address when they cannot reach a DHCP server.
Therefore, the most likely cause of the technician receiving the IP address 169.254.2.2 is:
A. DHCP.
