QuestionQ57

IP Connectivity

A user reports that a company website is unavailable. The help desk technician runs a tracert command to determine whether the server hosting the website can be reached over the network. The command output is shown below:

What can be determined from the command output?

  • A The router at hop 3 is not forwarding packets to the IP address 192.168.1.10.
  • B Requests to the web server at 192.168.1.10 are being delayed and time out.
  • C The server address 192.168.1.10 is being blocked by a firewall on the router at hop 3.
  • D The server with the address 192.168.1.10 is reachable over the network.
Explanation

The destination address 192.168.1.10 appears at hop 5 with response times, which shows that the server is reachable over the network. In Windows tracert, asterisks at an intermediate hop mean a response was not received within the timeout; an intermediate router can remain invisible to the trace while still forwarding traffic.
