ホーム オフィスのユーザーがインターネットに接続できません。技術者はユーザーに ipconfig コマンドを実行するように求めます。次の最初のオクテットのうち、IP アドレスの問題を直ちに示唆するものはどれですか?
正解:B
An IP address starting with the first octet "169" immediately suggests an issue, indicating that the device has been assigned an Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA). APIPA addresses are self-assigned by a computer or device when it's unable to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, which is common in situations where the device is unable to connect to the network or the DHCP server is not functioning properly. The range for APIPA addresses is 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, and seeing an IP address within this range is a clear indicator of connectivity issues related to DHCP.
