Solution

When using Fixed Allocation DHCP, a computer's IP is determined by its MAC address. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to assign IP addresses and provide configuration information to devices on a network.

  2. In a Fixed Allocation DHCP, also known as DHCP reservation, IP addresses are assigned to devices based on their MAC (Media Access Control) address.

  3. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment.

  4. When a device with a reserved IP address connects to the network, the DHCP server recognizes the device's MAC address and assigns it the reserved IP address.

  5. Therefore, in Fixed Allocation DHCP, a computer's IP is determined by its MAC address.

Note: An A Record, subnet mask, and location are not used to determine a computer's IP in Fixed Allocation DHCP.
