Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 154 discussion

A. Assign the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN: This is the most likely solution as the phone is not getting the DHCP IP address it needs, which typically indicates an issue with the VLAN configuration on the switch. By assigning the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN, the phone will be able to receive an IP address via DHCP from the phone system.

static word is given to confuse and trap people who do not need it fully. Static IP could have been assigned, but this refers to Static gateway IP, which is not enough. This is not testing knowledge but how people can avoid traps

GPT selects (A): "The task that needs to be completed to allow the newly installed VoIP phone to operate correctly when it's not getting the DHCP IP address is (A) Assign the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN. When a VoIP phone is not receiving a DHCP IP address, it's often related to VLAN misconfiguration. VoIP phones usually require specific VLAN configurations to separate voice traffic from data traffic. By assigning the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN, you ensure that the phone is on the appropriate network segment where it can communicate with the DHCP server and the phone system. Options (B) Statically assigning the phone's gateway address, (C) Configuring a route on the VoIP network router, and (D) Implementing a VoIP gateway are not directly related to addressing the issue of the phone not receiving a DHCP IP address. The primary concern here is to ensure that the phone can communicate on the correct VLAN to receive its configuration information from the DHCP server."

A. Assign the phone's switchport to the correct VLAN The phone needs to be connected to the correct VLAN in order to receive the DHCP IP address it requires to connect to the phone system. Once the phone's switchport is assigned to the correct VLAN, it should be able to receive the DHCP IP address and connect to the phone system.
