You are configuring your edge routers interface with a public IP address for Internet connectivity. The router needs to obtain the IP address from the service provider dynamically.
Which command is needed on interface FastEthernet 0/0 to accomplish this?

The correct command to obtain an IP address from a service provider dynamically on the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of a Cisco router is "ip address dhcp". Therefore, the correct answer is D.
Explanation:
When connecting to the internet, the edge router needs a public IP address to communicate with other devices on the internet. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) often assign dynamic public IP addresses to their clients, meaning that the IP address assigned to a client may change periodically. In such cases, the edge router must obtain an IP address dynamically from the ISP.
To configure an interface to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, use the "ip address dhcp" command on the interface. This command instructs the router to obtain its IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses from a DHCP server. The router sends a DHCP request to the DHCP server, which responds with the required configuration information.
