An IS auditor reviewing wireless network security determines that the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is
disabled at all wireless access points. This practice:

A.
reduces the risk of unauthorized access to the network.

B.
is not suitable for small networks.

C.
automatically provides an IP address to anyone.

D.
increases the risks associated with Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP).

Explanation:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically assigns IP addresses to anyone connected to the
network. With DHCP disabled, static IP addresses must be used and represent less risk due to the potential for
address contention between an unauthorized device and existing devices on the network. Choice B is incorrect
because DHCP is suitable for small networks. Choice C is incorrect because DHCP does not provide IP
addresses when disabled. Choice D is incorrect because disabling of the DHCP makes it more difficult to
exploit the well-known weaknesses in WEP.
