Default gateway
B.
DNS servers

F.
TFTP server
Explanation:
Default gateway refers to router default gateway, which is used to realize access between vlans. When a router receives a destination unknown address packet, it will be sent to the default gateway (such as a router’s interface) if default gateway exists, otherwise the packet will be discarded. DNS is Domain Name Server. The conversion between Domain names and IP addresses is called domain analysis, and DNS is the seiver to process domain analysis. IP addresses use network number and host number to mark network host, and only computers under the same network number can intercommunicate "directly", computers with different networks may intercommunicate only through Gateway. Thus IP networks are divided into smaller networks, known as subnet. Subnet mask is used to determine whether two IP addresses are in the same subnet, then only computers under the same subnet can intercommunicate "directly".DHCP is used by workstations (hosts) to get initial configuration information, such as an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway upon bootup. Since each host needs an IP address to communicate in an IP network, DHCP eases the administrative burden of manually configuring each host with an IP address. Furthermore, if a host moves to a different IP subnet, it has to use a different IP address than the one it was previously using. DHCP takes care of this automatically, by allowing the host to choose an IP address in the correct IP subnet.
