ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server will automatically assign IP
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
(Internet Protocol) addresses to devices on the network from an available pool. This
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
means that the IP address for a device may change over time based on the addresses

ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
a new connector using an RJ45 crimper. - Correct Answers A workstation administrator
