Question

You recently completed a network overhaul over the weekend. Everything seems to be functioning properly until you receive a swarm of help desk support requests, all originating from one specific floor in your building. After a few minutes on the phone with those affected, you determine that no onehas indicator lights active on their NICs. What is most likely the problem?a.The DHCP server has failed.c.Static IP address settings have prevented the NIC from entering a usable state.b.A gateway is incorrectly configured.d.A network switch has not been powered on

Answer 1

d. A network switch has not been powered on

Step-by-step explanation:

A network interface controller(NIC) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network, without it a computer cannot be connected over a network. It is a circuit board installed in a computer that provides a dedicated network connection to the computer. It is also called a network adapter, network interface card, LAN adapter or physical network interface.

When you power up your switch, several things happen, and the status lights on the front of the unit tell you what is going on. When no indicator light is showing it means the switch is not turned on.
