Refer to the exhibit. The network shown in the exhibit has just been installed. Host B is unable to ping host C. What is the problem with this configuration?

Question

Exhibit

Options

• AHost B should be in VLAN 13.
• BThe address of host C is incorrect.
• CThe gateway for host B is in a different subnet than the host is on.
• DThe switch port that sends VLAN 13 frames from the switch to the router is shut down.
• EThe switch port connected to the router is incorrectly configured as an access port.

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  81% (22)
• C
  11% (3)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Based on the exhibit, the VLAN and subnet assignments are defined, and Host C has been assigned an IP address that does not fall within the correct subnet for its VLAN. An incorrectly assigned IP address (wrong subnet or typo) would prevent Host B from reaching Host C even if all switch and router configurations are correct, because the router would attempt to route the packet to the wrong subnet or Host C would not accept traffic destined for a different IP. The other options are ruled out: Host B's gateway is in the correct subnet (eliminating C), the switch port is not shut down (eliminating D), and the router port is a trunk (eliminating E).
