A new C-160 has been delivered and needs to be configured. What subnet and C-Series interface does your laptop need to be configured on?

The correct answer is D. Data1192.168.42.0/24. Option D is correct because Cisco C-Series appliances (like the C-160) ship with the Data1 interface pre-configured with a default IP of 192.168.42.1, placing it on the 192.168.42.0/24 subnet - your laptop must be on that same subnet to reach the appliance for initial setup…

Explanation

Option D is correct because Cisco C-Series appliances (like the C-160) ship with the Data1 interface pre-configured with a default IP of 192.168.42.1, placing it on the 192.168.42.0/24 subnet - your laptop must be on that same subnet to reach the appliance for initial setup.

Why the distractors fail:

A uses the correct interface (Data1) but the wrong subnet (192.168.10.0/24 is not the factory default).
B has both wrong - Data2 is not the default setup interface, and 192.168.10.0/24 is not the default subnet.
C has the right subnet (192.168.42.0/24) but the wrong interface - Data2 is not used for initial configuration; Data1 is always the starting point.

Memory tip: Think "D1-42" - Data1 + 42 (as in 192.168.42.0/24). "Data1 comes first, and 42 is the answer to everything" - including your initial appliance setup.
