A workstation has been moved from the first floor to the fifth floor within an organization. The user is now reporting that the workstation cannot connect to the network. A technician suspects that the workstation could not obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. What is a possible cause of the problem?

The workstation has been configured with a static IP address.

Explanation:

A computer network connects two or more computers together. It provides this interconnection between them using several protocols.

A computer in a network is called a node or workstation and must have an IP address. IP addresses can be assigned statically or dynamically. The static IP address permits the administration to manually configure the IP address, while dynamic addressing is done by the DHCP server protocol.

If a workstation is moved from a network of workstations with static addresses to a dynamically assigned address network, it should be configured to a DHCP server or its static address may conflict or not exist in the network.
