Workstation A has been assigned an IP address of 192.0.2.24/28. Workstation B has been assigned an IP address of 192.0.2.100/28. The two workstations are connected with a straight- through cable. Attempts to ping between the hosts are unsuccessful. What are two things that could be attempted that would allow communications between the hosts? (Choose two.)
A.
Replace the straight-through cable with a crossover cable.
B.
Change the subnet mask of the hosts to /25.
C.
Change the subnet mask of the hosts to /26.
D.
Change the address of Workstation A to 192.0.2.15.
E.
Change the address of Workstation B to 192.0.2.111.
This question does not mention a hub or a switch so the machines are connect together with ST cable.
C. is incorrect because /26 give you a range of 0 – 63 or 64 – 127. There is no layer device so the workstations need to be on the same subnet.
D.is incorrect for 2 reasons. 1).15 is a broadcast. 2) It will not put them on the same subnet.
E.is incorrect because they are still not on the same subnet.
A. is correct because like devices need crossover cable.
B. is correct because /25 has a range of 0-127. Both machines would be on the same subnet.
