Configure manual IPv4, DNS, and a Private Wi-Fi profile
Configure a canned Windows 11 Wi-Fi adapter with approved manual IPv4 and DNS values, then mark the trusted network Private. This page teaches a job procedure. These are not exam questions, this is not a score predictor, and nothing here is taken from any certification exam.
Steps
- 1
Open Contoso-Guest in Network & internet settings. Edit IP assignment, choose Manual, turn IPv4 on, enter 192.0.2.25, 255.255.255.0, and 192.0.2.1, then save. Leave Preferred DNS empty for the separate DNS step.

Edit DNS server assignment. Choose Manual, turn IPv4 on, enter 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, then save. These are public resolvers for public names only, and the simulation never queries them.

Set Network profile type to Private because the canned network is classified as trusted. Discovery and sharing still depend on services and firewall rules.
