Which of these protocols provides TCP/IP functions like IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS server information for hosts on a network?
Explanation
Answer - C - DHCP provides TCP/IP functions like IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS server information for the hosts on a network.
Key Takeaway: DHCP is a protocol used by DHCP clients that dynamically distributes the IP address to the destination host. When a DHCP-configured host connects to a network, the DHCP client sends a broadcast query requesting necessary information from a DHCP server. The DHCP server manages a pool of IP addresses and information about client configuration parameters such as default gateway, domain name, the DNS servers, and other servers, such as time servers.
