CompTIA Exam SK0-005 Topic 1 Question 49 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam

Question #: 49
Topic #: 1

A systems administrator is setting up a server farm for a new company. The company has a public range of IP addresses and uses the addresses internally. Which of the following IP addresses best fits this scenario?

A10.3.7.27

B127.0.0.1

C192.168.7.1

D216.176.128.10

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The IP address 216.176.128.10 falls within the range of public IP addresses, which are routable over the Internet. Since the company is using a public range of IP addresses internally, this address is suitable for the scenario. In contrast, 10.3.7.27 and 192.168.7.1 are private IP addresses typically used within internal networks and not routable on the public Internet. 127.0.0.1 is known as the loopback address, used by a computer to communicate with itself and not suitable for assigning to devices within a network.

I'm leaning towards B) 127.0.0.1 because it's the loopback address and can be used internally.

I disagree, I believe C) 192.168.7.1 would be a better choice because it's a private IP address range.

I'm not sure, but I think C) 192.168.7.1 could also work if they are using it internally.

I agree with Carey. Using a public IP address like D) 216.176.128.10 makes sense for a server farm.

You guys are spot on. I was a bit confused at first, but now it's clear that we need to go with a private IP address. 192.168.7.1 is the way to go, no doubt about it. Although, I have to admit, I'm a little jealous of the company getting their own public IP range. Must be nice!

Yeah, that 216 address is definitely not what we're looking for. I'd say option A, 10.3.7.27, is also a decent choice since it's within the private IP address range. But I think 192.168.7.1 is the safest bet here.

I agree with you there, the private IP address range is the way to go. The other options just don't seem to fit the scenario. Although, I gotta say, 216,176,128.10 sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie!

Ah, this one's a tricky one! The company has a public range of IP addresses, so we need to look at the private IP address ranges. I think option C, 192.168.7.1, is the best fit here.
