QuestionQ45

Troubleshooting

A systems administrator has recently installed a new virtual server. After the installation was completed, the administrator could reach only a few servers on the network. During testing, the administrator found that only servers with similar IP addresses were reachable. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

Explanation

An incorrect subnet mask causes the virtual server to calculate the wrong local subnet. As a result, it can communicate with addresses it incorrectly considers local while failing to reach other hosts that should be reachable through the correct subnet or gateway.
