CompTIA Exam N10-008 Topic 3 Question 56 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-008 exam
Question #: 56
Topic #: 3
[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.

Did the engineer try turning it off and on again? Just kidding, but seriously, C sounds like the most likely culprit here. Those servers need a gateway!

A: Definitely, without a default gateway, they can't connect outside of their own network.

A: I think the issue might be that the servers are not configured with a default gateway.

A routing loop? Nah, the servers can reach themselves. I'm thinking C is the way to go - no default gateway set up for the servers.

It's possible, but I think the default gateway issue is more likely based on the information provided.

But could it also be because of an improper Layer 1 connection between the router and the ISP modem?

I agree with Sylvia, without a default gateway, the servers won't be able to connect to the Internet.

Hmm, the core router is accessible, so it's not a Layer 1 issue. I'd go with C - the servers need to be configured with a default gateway.

Yes, setting the default gateway on the servers should solve the issue.

The subnet mask seems off, the servers can't reach the internet. Probably option B is the right answer here.

Yeah, that makes sense. The servers need the correct subnet mask to reach the internet.

I think you're right, the subnet mask could be the issue.
