Practice question 198 of 506 · easy

A Windows client has 169.254.x.x addressing when it should use DHCP. What is the best initial interpretation?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.The DNS zone is necessarily corrupt
  2. B.The configured reservation has guaranteed a normal routed address
  3. C.No usable DHCP lease was obtained; investigate client, relay, server, and path
  4. D.The VPN is proved down by the address alone
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • No usable DHCP lease was obtained; investigate client, relay, server, and path

Link-local addressing suggests lease acquisition failed but does not isolate the cause. It does not prove DNS corruption or a VPN failure. A reservation only works when the matching DHCP client can obtain its lease; it does not guarantee routed addressing during acquisition failure.
