A technician is configuring a new printer on a network with a DHCP server. The printer's IP settings are set to obtain an address automatically. After booting, the printer receives IP 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, but no default gateway. What is the MOST likely consequence?

The printer will automatically assign itself a gateway from its IP address

The printer can be reached by local hosts but cannot print to remote servers on other subnets

The printer cannot be reached by any host on the local network

The printer will function normally because the gateway is only needed for internet access

A user can access shared files on other computers in the same office but cannot reach any website on the internet. Which troubleshooting step should be performed first?

Check the default gateway configuration on the user's computer

A company sets up a new branch office with a router connected to the corporate WAN. The network administrator configures 50 workstations with static IP addresses in the 172.16.10.0/24 range. Which configuration is REQUIRED for these workstations to communicate with servers at the corporate headquarters (172.16.0.0/16)?

A specific route for 172.16.0.0/16 on each workstation

A DNS server address on each workstation

A default gateway set to the router's IP address on the local subnet

A subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 on each workstation

A network administrator is troubleshooting a host that cannot reach the internet. The host's IP is 192.168.1.100/24, and its default gateway is 192.168.1.1. The administrator pings 192.168.1.1 successfully, but pings to 8.8.8.8 fail. The administrator then pings 8.8.8.8 from the gateway itself, and it succeeds. What is the MOST likely cause of the host's failure?

The host's default gateway is not configured

The host's subnet mask is incorrect

The host's DNS settings are incorrect

The gateway is not performing NAT for the host's traffic

A network administrator is examining a host's routing table. The table contains a directly connected route for 192.168.1.0/24 and a default route (0.0.0.0/0) pointing to 192.168.1.1. The host needs to send a packet to 10.10.10.10. Which statement accurately describes the routing decision?

The host consults a DNS server to determine the next hop for 10.10.10.10

The host sends the packet directly to 10.10.10.10 because it is not on the local subnet

The host forwards the packet to 192.168.1.1 because 10.10.10.10 is not on the directly connected network

The host drops the packet because there is no specific route to 10.10.10.10
