Q: 2
Early in the morning, an administrator installs a new DHCP server. In the afternoon, some users
report they are experiencing network outages. Which of the following is the most likely issue?

Makes sense to go with A for this one
Option A here. If the DHCP pool runs out of available IP addresses, only users trying to connect later get hit with outages. Doesn't matter if the gateway or routes are wrong, as that would break it for everyone right away. Happened in a similar practice question, too.
A tbh, ran into this on a mock once. Afternoon outages after a DHCP change usually means the IP pool ran out, so not enough addresses were available for later users. Not 100 percent sure but fits what I've seen before.
I’d probably go with B. If the default gateway was misconfigured, users might get IPs but couldn’t reach anything off their local subnet. Saw something like this on another practice test so pretty sure, but not 100%.
Looks like A, pops up in official guide examples and practice exams all the time.
A is way more likely. If you run out of IPs in the DHCP scope, only users joining later have trouble, not everybody at once. Trap here is D, since MACs aren’t something you provision on a DHCP server. Anyone see questions like this before?
Probably A, classic DHCP pool exhaustion causes this exact issue when more devices try to join.
A Had something like this in a mock exam, it's usually not enough IPs in the DHCP scope. When new users try to join later, no addresses left so they can't connect. Makes sense here.
Nah, I don’t think it’s D. A fits better since DHCP scope exhaustion lines up with users losing network in the afternoon and not right after install. If it were a gateway config (B), everyone would be down from the start. Pretty sure it’s A, though let me know if you see it differently.
A , saw a similar DHCP scope exhaustion example in past exam reports.
Be respectful. No spam.
