CompTIA Exam N10-008 Topic 1 Question 66 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-008 exam
Question #: 66
Topic #: 1
[All N10-008 Questions]

An engineer recently installed a new distribution switch and connected two servers provisioned with the following IPs: 192.168.17.20 and 192.168.17.30. The servers cannot connect to the Internet, but they can reach themselves. The engineer observes that the distribution switch has the following setup:

The engineer is able to reach the core router 192.168.17.1 from the distribution switch. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The servers can communicate with each other but not the internet, indicating local network connectivity is fine. The distribution switch's VLAN and IP configuration are correct, and the engineer can reach the core router, suggesting the issue is not with the switch or the router. The most likely cause is that the servers do not have a default gateway configured, which is necessary for traffic to leave the local network and reach the internet.

I'm going with option C. The servers need to be configured with a default gateway to reach the outside world. Unless they're using some kind of fancy teleportation technique, of course.

Option C is correct. The servers need a default gateway to reach the Internet.

Hold up, did the engineer try turning it off and on again? That's the first step, right? Just kidding, but seriously, the default gateway is the most likely problem here.

A routing loop? Really? I think the engineer needs to double-check the Layer 1 connection first. That's usually the culprit.

I think the subnet mask could also be a potential issue to look into.

Maybe the engineer should also verify the default gateway configuration on the servers.

I agree, the Layer 1 connection is often the root cause of connectivity issues.

Hmm, the subnet mask looks fine to me. I bet the issue is with the router configuration.

The servers can reach each other, but not the internet? Sounds like a classic case of a missing default gateway.

B) That makes sense, without a default gateway they wouldn't know how to reach the internet.

I agree with Rosalyn. Without a default gateway, the servers won't be able to reach the Internet.
