Question

a helpdesk technician is troubleshooting issues on a windows client. which command should the technician use to clear the current ip address so that a new one can be assigned?

○ ipconfig /release

○ ipconfig /renew

○ ipconfig /all

○ ipconfig /flushdns

Explanation:

The question asks for the Windows command to clear the current IP address for a new assignment. ipconfig /release releases the current IP address from the DHCP server, allowing a new one to be assigned later (e.g., with ipconfig /renew). Other options: /renew requests a new IP, /all shows all network configs, /flushdns clears DNS cache—none clear the current IP directly.

Answer:

ipconfig /release
