A user is unable to connect to network resources. A technician discovers that the user's device has an invalid static IP v dress. Which of the following should the technician configure on the user's device to request an IP address?
Correct Answer: C
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, resolving the issue of an invalid static IP address. Configuring the device to use DHCP allows it to request and receive a valid IP address automatically.
* Why Not A (SSH): Secure Shell (SSH) is used for secure remote access, not IP address assignment.
* Why Not B (FTP): File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for file transfers, not network configuration.
* Why Not D (DNS): DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses but doesn't assign IP addresses.
