Match each DHCP administration component with its correct platform and function:
1. DHCP Manager
2. /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
3. journalctl -u dhcpd
4. Exclusion Range
Matches:
A. Windows graphical console used to create and manage scopes
B. Linux configuration file defining subnets and lease parameters
C. Linux systemd command used to inspect DHCP service runtime logs
D. Windows scope setting that withholds specific IP addresses from dynamic distribution
Answer
1 - A, 2 - B, 3 - C, 4 - D
Explanation
The matches distinguish the administration tools and mechanisms presented in the course. **DHCP Manager** is the Windows graphical console. Linux DHCP settings are kept in `/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf`, and `journalctl -u dhcpd` can display logs for the Linux service. Windows provides an **Exclusion Range** feature; in the Linux configuration approach, excluded addresses are kept out of the declared range. Correctly matching these items supports cross-platform troubleshooting because the equivalent administrative task may use a different interface or method. **Key takeaway:** Match each task to the platform’s native configuration and diagnostic tools.\n\n**Glossary:** **Exclusion**: An IP address or range withheld from dynamic assignment.
