After connecting several new devices to the network, users report that they are unable to access resources. The devices have IP addresses in the 169.254.x.x range. Which network service is not functioning properly?
DHCP
DNS
SNMP
NAT
Devices assign themselves IP addresses in the 169.254.x.x range, known as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), when they cannot obtain an IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. This indicates that the DHCP service is not functioning properly, as it is responsible for automatically providing IP configuration to devices on the network. Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names to IP addresses but does not assign IP addresses to devices. Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple devices on a private network to access external networks using a single public IP address but does not affect initial IP address assignment. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for network management and monitoring and is unrelated to IP address assignment.
