Answers provide in-depth explanations­­and show why the incorrect choices are wrong, as shown below:

You have a TCP/IP network comprising nearly 30 computers. Currently, all computers have been assigned IP addresses manually. The company is growing fast, and a new consignment of 15 computers is arriving next week. You have decided to install Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services on one of the servers. Identify which of the following are the advantages of using the DHCP server in the network. (Select two answers.)

A. The name resolution process will be automated.

B. The network can be monitored more efficiently.

C. Assignment of IP addresses will be automated.

D. Network traffic problems can be resolved.

E. Administration workload can be reduced.

C and E. Assignment of IP addresses will be automated and administration workload can be reduced. The DHCP server is used to automatically assign IP addresses to DHCP client computers in a TCP/IP network. This practice eliminates the work of configuring each workstation manually and reduces your administrative workload, because configuring TCP/IP properties on each workstation can take significant time and efforts. It also reduces the chances of configuration errors that can result in network problems.

A is incorrect because the DHCP server is not used for name resolution purposes. Name resolution is the function of WINS server or a DNS server. Alternatively, LMHOSTS or HOSTS files are also used for name resolution. B is incorrect because SNMP servers are used for network monitoring. D is incorrect because a DHCP server cannot be used to resolve network traffic problems.
