N10-009 · Question #316

A small company has the following IP addressing strategy: User subnet: 192.168.1.0/24 Voice subnet: 192.168.2.0/24 Server subnet: 192 168.10.0/24 A user is unable to connect to the company fileshare…

The correct answer is B. Changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. If the user cannot communicate with 192.168.10.1, they might be on a different subnet. Changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 ensures the user and the file server are in the same subnet.
