HPE6-A86 · Question #3

A Windows PC is not able to browse the Internet. Based on the output, what could be the problem?

The correct answer is C. The wrong subnet mask has been configured. The switch SVI for VLAN 55 is configured with a /25 mask, but the PC is configured with a /24 mask. Considered together, this mismatch can cause the PC to make incorrect local/remote decisions and break routing to the default gateway for some destinations, preventing Internet
