Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The interface must be configured as a DHCP server.
Why it's wrong here
DHCP configuration is unrelated to how DAGs populate.
- ✗
The IP address must be defined as a static Address Object.
Why it's wrong here
DAGs are specifically for non-static, registered IP assignments.
- ✓
The IP address must have a tag associated with it via registration.
Why this is correct
The registration of a tag to an IP is what triggers the DAG membership.
- ✗
The object must be added to a Service Group.
Why it's wrong here
Service groups are for ports, not IP-based dynamic memberships.
