Question 392 - 220-1101 discussion

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?

DHCP

Ipv6

DNS

Ipv4

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which is a protocol that provides quick, automatic, and central management for the distribution of IP addresses within a network1. A DHCP server can assign IP addresses and other network information to devices that request them, such as computers, smartphones, and routers2.

The IP address 169.254.2.2 is an example of an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address, which is a special type of IP address that devices use when they cannot obtain a valid IP address from a DHCP server3. APIPA addresses are in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.03. Devices that use APIPA addresses can only communicate with other devices on the same local network that also use APIPA addresses3.

The router in the question is assigned the address scope of 192.168.1.254/24, which means it has an IP address of 192.168.1.254 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.04. This address scope belongs to the private IP address range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, which is commonly used for local networks4. Devices that use private IP addresses can communicate with other devices on the same local network or across different networks through NAT (Network Address Translation)4.

The most likely cause of the technician receiving the IP address 169.254.2.2 is that the DHCP server on the router is not working properly or is not configured correctly3. This could be due to various reasons, such as a misconfigured router, a faulty cable, a firewall blocking DHCP traffic, or an exhausted pool of IP addresses3. As a result, the technician's device cannot obtain a valid IP address from the DHCP server and resorts to using an APIPA address instead3.

To fix this issue, the technician should check the router settings and make sure that the DHCP server is enabled and has enough available IP addresses to assign to devices2. The technician should also check the physical cabling and make sure it is properly connected and secured2. If the issue persists, the technician should try rebooting the router or resetting it to factory defaults2. Alternatively, the technician could manually assign a static IP address to the device that matches the router's address scope, such as 192.168.1.x/242.
