Which of the following IP address suggests there may be a problem with DHCP?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

An IP address that starts with 169.254 suggests there may be a problem with DHCP. This is because 169.254 is the prefix for a link-local address, which is an address that is automatically assigned by the device when it cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. A link-local address allows the device to communicate with other devices on the same local network, but not with devices on other networks. A link-local address indicates that either the DHCP server is not available, not configured properly, or not reachable by the device. To resolve this issue, the device should try to renew its IP address from the DHCP server, or the DHCP server should be checked for any errors or misconfigurations. The other IP addresses are valid addresses that can be assigned by a DHCP server, and do not indicate any problem with DHCP.Reference:DHCP Error: What It Is and How to Fix It - Lifewire,7.4.4 Module Quiz - DHCPv4 (Answers) - ITExamAnswers

Gotta go with B, that 169 network is the IT equivalent of the 'check engine' light.

I agree with Orville. APIPA addresses are assigned when a device cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
