A network technician has just upgraded a switch. The new switch’s IP range and subnet mask
correctly match other network devices. The technician cannot ping any device outside of the
switch’s own IP subnet. The previous switch worked correctly with the same settings. Which of the
following is MOST likely the problem?
A.
The proxy server is set incorrectly.
B.
The Ethernet cable is pinched.
C.
The network gateway is set incorrectly.
D.
The IP address is set incorrectly.
Explanation:
When user is able to ping everything in its own subnet that means that all the hosts are reachable
however when you are not able to ping anything outside of this subnet then please check if the
device is sending traffic to the correct host who should forward it to the further devices.
