Refer to the graphic. Computer 1 is consoled into switch A. Telnet connections and pings run from
the command prompt on switch A fail. Which of the following could cause this problem?
A.
Switch A is not directly connected to router JAX.
B.
Switch A does not have a default gateway assigned.
C.
Switch A does not have an IP address.
D.
Switch A does not have a CDP entry for switch B or router JAX.
E.
Port 1 on switch A should be an access port rather than a trunk port.
Explanation:
For ping and Telnet the switch should be configured with the IP address and the default gateway.
IP is used for administrative purposes, and is needed so the end device will know which IP
address to direct the ICMP and telnet reply traffic to.
