A workstation at cannot access an internal application server at . The administrator suspects a default gateway mismatch, a missing static route, or an Access Control List (ACL) dropping the traffic on the core Layer 3 switch. Place the following troubleshooting steps in the correct sequential order according to standard network troubleshooting methodology.
- 1Run `ping 10.20.1.1` and `traceroute 172.16.50.10` from the workstation to determine if packets reach the local default gateway.
- 2Review the core switch's `show ip access-lists` and `show ip route` outputs to hypothesize why traffic to is failing.
- 3Execute a targeted ping test from the gateway router CLI sourced from toward to verify if the ACL on the ingress interface is dropping host packets.
- 4Modify the ingress ACL statement on the core switch to explicitly permit host traffic to and re-apply it to the interface.
- 5Confirm the workstation can successfully query over TCP port 443 and record the updated ACL entry in the network change log.
Cevap
The correct sequence follows standard network troubleshooting methodology: 1) Run `ping` and `traceroute` from the workstation to isolate local vs. remote failure; 2) Review switch routing tables and ACL rules to establish a cause theory; 3) Test the theory using controlled CLI commands from the gateway; 4) Update the ingress ACL on the core switch; 5) Verify end-to-end host connectivity and update network documentation logs.
The proper troubleshooting sequence follows standard CompTIA methodology: gather initial host diagnostics (`ping`/`traceroute`), examine gateway configuration states to form a hypothesis, test the theory via targeted CLI tests, implement the corrective ACL statement, and verify end-to-end application functionality before documenting the outcome.
