Logs from a DHCP server can be leveraged to accomplish which of the following?
- attributing a unique username to an IP address
- mapping an IP address to a hostname
- identifying the web browser version that is used by a client
- attributing a unique device to an IP address
| Explanation & Hint:
Logs from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can be leveraged to accomplish mapping an IP address to a hostname. DHCP servers assign IP addresses to client devices on a network and typically log the mapping of these IP addresses to hostnames (the names of the devices on the network). This information is crucial for network management and troubleshooting, as it allows network administrators to identify which device was assigned a particular IP address at a given time. While DHCP logs can sometimes include additional information, such as the MAC address of a device (which could help in attributing a unique device to an IP address), they do not typically include information about the usernames of the users of the devices or details about the web browser version used by a client. Such information is usually outside the scope of what DHCP is designed to track. |
