What is required for a DHCP server to function properly?

  1. The server must be part of a domain.

  2. The server must have an active internet connection.

  3. The server must be assigned a static IP address.

  4. The server must be connected to a specific VLAN.

The correct answer is: The server must be assigned a static IP address.

For a DHCP server to function properly, it is important for the server to be assigned a static IP address. This is because a DHCP server is responsible for dynamically assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. If the DHCP server itself has a dynamic IP address, its own address could change over time, leading to potential connectivity issues. Clients on the network need to be able to consistently reach the DHCP server to obtain their IP configuration. By ensuring that the DHCP server has a static IP, administrators can establish a stable point for clients to request their IP addresses and other network configuration information. This setup fosters a reliable environment where devices can seamlessly connect and communicate within the network without interruptions caused by IP address changes. While being part of a domain, having an active internet connection, or being connected to a specific VLAN can influence how a DHCP server interacts with the overall network and services, they are not essential for its fundamental operation of assigning IP addresses. Therefore, the requirement for a static IP address is critical for the reliable functioning of a DHCP server.
