Which two automatic addressing assignments are supported by DHCP?
subnet mask default gateway address
Where can you get your subnet mask for Mac?
Any device (mac or not) receives its subnet mask from the DHCP service, or by manually configuring the interface. In the case of manual configuration you would need to check with your network administrator to find out the correct setting for the subnet mask.
What service distributes IP addresses automatically?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A network node can request an IP address from a DHCP server using a broadcast frame. The DHCP server may assign an IP address to the node as well as a subnet mask and default gateway.
What is the potential benefit of using a DHCP server within a network?
The benefit would be to automatically assign network addresses to clients that need them to work on a local area network. Without DHCP you would have to assign each device an address, subnet mask, and default gateway, plus DNS and WINS server addresses, which can be time consuming and error prone. With DHCP, most of those problems disappear.
What system is used to automatically assign ip addresses and subnet masks to every computer on a network?
The DHCP protocol is used for this purpose.
Which protocol can configure a computers IP address and mask automatically?
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal
How do you fix a wrong default subnet mask?

What subnet mask would a network administrator assign to a network address of 192.30.5.0 if it were possible to have up to 254 hosts?

If you need a to have a class b network address subnetted into exactly 510 hosts what subnet mask would you assign?

Does ipv6 require a subnet mask?
It does not require a subnet mask.
What class has subnet mask 225.225.225.0?
If this is a default subnet mask, then it would be a class C subnet mask. If you are subnetting a network and this is not the default subnet mask, then it could be either a class A or class B.
