Question

Jeff, an administrator, has just finished installing a new switch and connected two servers with IPs of 192.168.105.20 and 30. The servers are able to communicate with each other, but are unable to reach the Internet. Jeff sees the following information in the switch configuration: interface VLAN 105 IP address 192.168.105.5 255.255.255.0 Jeff is able to ping the router at 192.168.105.1 from the switch. Which of the following is the MOST likely Gise of the problem?

The server is missing default gateway information
Jef used a crossover cable to connect the switch to the gateway
A routing loop has ocurred
The subnet mask is incorrect

Answer 1

The server is missing default gateway information

Step-by-step explanation:

A computer network server is a computer or workstation dedicated to providing a specific service to other workstations in the network. When a network server can not access the internet, the problem could be that the default-gateway has not been configured.

The default gateway of a workstation is the portal from which the workstation can access other external networks. If the destination of a packet is foreign to the local network (after ANDing the IP address and the subnet mask), the workstation sends the packet to the default gateway which is the port of the router.
