CORRECT TEXT
Alter recent changes to the pictured network, several users are unable to access the servers. Only
PC1, PC2, PC3, and PC4 are clickable and will give you access to the command prompt and the
adapter configuration tabs.
Instructions: Verify the settings by using the command prompt, after making any system changes.
Next, restore connectivity by making the appropriate changes to the infrastructure. When you have
completed these steps, select the Done button to submit.
Answer: See the explanation.
Explanation:
On PC3, change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. When it is set to 255.255.255.128,
then the PC with a .129 address will not be on the same subnet as the default gateway which is .1
On PC4, change the default gateway to 10.0.2.1. It has been incorrectly set as 10.1.2.1.
Since it’s saying verify the settings by using the command prompt, do u just ping the default gateway? Or can u just make the appropriate settings and move on?
Does it have something to do with using a full ipconfig /all to obtain physical addresses, and then using the ARP to manually update the routing tables?
Changing the ARP table will not fix the problems with the default gateways and the subnet masks.
I don’t think using ARP has anything to do with this question. It just say Verify the settings by using the command prompt. I think ipconfig/all might do it.
In the adapter configuration- do we need to change DNS settings to show Preferred & Alternate server addresses or just leave them as them are?
*they* are
The point of the sim is to complete the minimum number of steps to restore connectivity and basic functionality.
While in a normal network, you would indeed have at least a secondary DNS and possibly a tertiary configured (assuming you configured it statically), it is not required to restore functionality here. If you look at PC4’s configurations, it has a Default Gateway that points to a router interface not listed anywhere within this diagram. It has a DG set to 10.1.2.1 (which doesn’t make sense when you look at the subnet either), however the interface it is connected to has an IP address of 10.0.2.1. In order to correct this, simply change the DG of PC4 to the correct address.
Is ipconfig/release and then ipconfig/renew on the command prompt part of the procedure or just ipconfig /all necessary ? On all them? Thanks
