DHCP User Configuration Options

BEF.

When configuring a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, an administrator can define several parameters that will be provided to DHCP clients. DHCP is a network protocol that allows computers and other network devices to obtain IP addresses automatically, along with other network settings such as subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server.

The three parameters that can be defined for DHCP users are:

1. DNS server: The DNS (Domain Name System) server is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. When a computer wants to connect to a website or other network resource, it sends a DNS query to a DNS server to obtain the IP address associated with the domain name. By configuring the DHCP server to provide a DNS server address to DHCP clients, the administrator can ensure that all clients can access the same DNS server and resolve domain names correctly.

2. NTP server: The NTP (Network Time Protocol) server is responsible for providing accurate time synchronization to network devices. By configuring the DHCP server to provide an NTP server address to DHCP clients, the administrator can ensure that all clients are synchronized to the same time source.

3. Domain name: The domain name is a part of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that identifies the domain where a computer or other network resource is located. By configuring the DHCP server to provide a domain name to DHCP clients, the administrator can ensure that all clients have the correct domain name configured and can participate in domain-related network activities, such as accessing shared resources or authenticating with domain credentials.

Answers A, D, and C are incorrect. A database server and SQL server are not relevant to DHCP configuration, and DHCP server is the server itself, not a configuration option.
