QuestionQ28

Troubleshooting

A technician is attempting to determine why a Linux server is not communicating on a network. The returned network configuration is as follows:

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 127.0.0.1 network 255.255.0.0 broadcast 127.0.0.1

Which of the following BEST describes what is occurring?

Explanation

A network interface using 127.0.0.1 has only a loopback address and lacks a usable LAN address. This indicates that the system has not received a valid DHCP lease; among the listed conditions, the best match is a DHCP-enabled network with no DHCP server available.
