Answer:

Reservations:

Option C: Set aside IP addresses so that they are assigned to specific devices

Step-by-step explanation:

While connecting to network, we face two options to assign IP addresses that are as follows:

  • Static
  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

As obvious from the name, assigning IP addresses statically means that we have to create a IP address for the device being in the range ourselves.

Whereas in DHCP, the router assigns IPs to the devices dynamically.

Now reservation is a feature granted by the DHCP that allows a device to reserve its IP. So by this we mean, every time the first IP address from the pool will be assigned to reserved device.

I hope it will help you!
