What should you check on a client machine to verify that it received a new IP address from DHCP?

To verify that a client machine has received a new IP address from DHCP, checking the IP and DNS configuration is essential. This area provides precise details about the current network settings, including the IP address assigned to the client by the DHCP server, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and DNS server addresses.

When the device requests an IP address from the DHCP server, it should dynamically allocate an unused IP address within the scope defined by the server. By examining the IP configuration, you can confirm whether the DHCP process was successful and whether the IP settings align with the expected network layout. This information is crucial for troubleshooting connectivity issues or verifying proper network setup.

Other options may provide relevant information but do not directly confirm the DHCP assignment. Network adapter settings may contain useful information about the network interface but lack specific details on the assigned IP addresses. Device manager focuses on hardware and drivers rather than IP configurations, and event viewer logs might show the DHCP client's activities but do not provide direct insight into the current IP configuration.
