A desktop technician is troubleshooting a newly assigned Windows 11 Pro workstation in a branch office. The computer can ping other host devices on the local subnet (), but users cannot reach internal company servers on other subnets or access external internet resources. A review of the network adapter's IPv4 configuration details shows:
- IP Address:
- Subnet Mask:
- Default Gateway:
- Preferred DNS Server:
Which of the following best identifies the configuration error and the required resolution?
- The default gateway is configured with the workstation's own IP address; it must be changed to the IP address of the local router interface.Cevap
- BThe subnet mask is restrictive; it must be expanded to 255.255.0.0 to allow routing between remote networks.
- CThe preferred DNS server IP address is invalid for off-subnet routing; it must be reconfigured to use the loopback address 127.0.0.1.
- DThe operating system edition limits network routing; the client must be joined to an Active Directory domain via Network and Sharing Center to unlock default gateway routing.
Cevap
The default gateway is configured with the workstation's own IP address; it must be changed to the IP address of the local router interface.
The default gateway is the IP address of the local router that enables host devices on a subnet to communicate with hosts on external networks or remote subnets. Because the gateway was misconfigured to match the workstation's own static IP address (), any traffic sent to off-subnet destinations fails to egress the local network segment. Changing the default gateway to the router's interface IP address resolves remote network connectivity.
