A NetBSD administrator needs to configure a static IP address on the wm0 interface that persists across reboots. Which file and entry should be used?

Run 'ifconfig wm0 inet 192.0.2.20 netmask 255.255.255.0' and add it to /etc/ifconfig.wm0

Use 'sysrc ifconfig_wm0="inet 192.0.2.20 netmask 255.255.255.0"'

Add 'ifconfig_wm0="inet 192.0.2.20 netmask 255.255.255.0"' to /etc/rc.conf

Add 'address 192.0.2.20/24' to /etc/network/interfaces

What is the primary characteristic of a temporary IP configuration performed with ifconfig on a BSD system?

It takes effect immediately but is lost after a reboot.

It requires a DHCP server to assign the address.

It is written to /etc/rc.conf and becomes permanent.

It only works for IPv6 addresses.

A FreeBSD administrator is configuring a DHCP client on a network where the DHCP server provides a DNS server that is unreachable. The administrator wants to override the DNS server with a reliable one, but only for this client. The change must survive DHCP renewals. Which approach is correct?

Edit /etc/dhclient.conf to add 'supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;'

Edit /etc/rc.conf to set ifconfig_em0="inet 192.0.2.10 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Edit /etc/resolv.conf to set nameserver 8.8.8.8

What is the purpose of editing /etc/rc.conf on a BSD system?

To configure the system's DNS resolver settings.

To make network configuration persistent across reboots.

To manage the DHCP client daemon's runtime state.

To temporarily change the IP address without rebooting.

714.2 Basic Network Configuration (weight: 3) BSD-SPECIALIST Practice Questions (Page 2)

Part of the Topic 714: Basic BSD Network Administration domain, which makes up ~17% of our current practice bank. Linux Professional Institute does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~6–10 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 30 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
