Difficulty: EasyWindows Client Networking Configuration

A technician is configuring static IPv4 parameters on a newly deployed Windows client workstation. The workstation needs to communicate with systems outside its local subnet and resolve website domain names. Which of the following networking settings must be correctly configured on the client? (Select TWO.)

  1. Default gatewayAnswer
  2. DNS server addressAnswer
  3. C
    Loopback address
  4. D
    Alternate WINS server

Answer

The default gateway and DNS server address must both be properly configured on the Windows client workstation.
Configuring the default gateway provides the local router's IP address, allowing packets destined for external subnets or the Internet to be routed correctly. Configuring the DNS server address enables the workstation to query name servers for translating human-friendly domain names into IP addresses.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the routing requirement for external subnets.
Determined that traffic destined for remote networks must be sent to the default gateway address.
Without a default gateway configured, Windows clients can only communicate within the local broadcast domain.
2
Identify the domain name resolution requirement.
Determined that translating hostname queries to IP addresses requires a DNS server.
Clients rely on DNS servers to map internet domain names to destination IPv4 addresses.
