A SOHO network uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to client devices. Which scenario would most likely require a static IP address instead of a dynamic one?

A network printer that needs to be reachable at a consistent address for all users

A laptop that moves between the office and home networks

A smartphone that connects to the office Wi-Fi occasionally

A guest device that only needs temporary internet access

A SOHO router is configured with a firewall that blocks all inbound traffic by default. The office runs a web server that must be reachable from the internet. Which configuration should you apply to allow external users to reach the web server while keeping other inbound traffic blocked?

Create a port forwarding rule that maps external port 80 to the web server's private IP address and port 80.

Disable the firewall on the router to allow all inbound traffic.

Enable UPnP on the router to automatically open ports for the web server.

Place the web server in the DMZ of the router.
