A logistics supervisor using a corporate tablet in a warehouse loses connection to internal server applications while moving between loading docks. Network diagnostics show the tablet currently has an IPv4 address of with a subnet mask of . Cellular connectivity on the device is disabled by company policy. Which of the following best explains why the tablet lost access to the internal network?
- The tablet failed to reach a DHCP server on the wireless network and self-assigned an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address.Cevap
- BThe tablet's International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) was invalidated when roaming between wireless access points.
- CThe tablet attempted to synchronize network credentials using POP3 on port 110 instead of IMAP on port 993.
- DThe wireless access points were misconfigured to use non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels 1, 6, and 11.
Cevap
The tablet failed to reach a DHCP server on the wireless network and self-assigned an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address.
An IP address starting with 169.254 indicates Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). When a mobile device fails to obtain an IP lease from a DHCP server on a wireless network, the OS automatically self-assigns an APIPA address. Because APIPA addresses do not include default gateway information, the tablet loses access to internal corporate subnets and server applications.
