• Question 98:

  An application server cannot communicate with a newly installed database server. The database server, which has static IP information, is reading the following output from ipconfig: IP: 10.0.10.240 Mask: 255.255.255.128 Gateway: 10.0.10.1 The application server is reading the following output from ipconfig: IP: 10.0.10.25 Mask: 255.255.255.128 Gateway: 10.0.10.1 Which of the following MOST likely contains an error?

  Correct Answer: A

  The database has IP: 10.0.10.240 - Mask: 255.255.255.128 - Gateway: 10.0.10.1 This mask gives two subnets 10.0.10.0/25 and 10.0.10.128/25 so the ip address and the gateway are on different subnets.

  The Application Server is on IP: 10.0.10.25 - Mask: 255.255.255.128 - Gateway: 10.0.10.1 The IP address and gateway are on the same subnet.
