Question

An application server cannot communicate with a newly installed database server. The database server has static IP information and displays the following ipconfig output:

IP: 10.0.10.240
Mask: 255.255.255.128
Gateway: 10.0.10.1

The application server displays the following ipconfig output:

IP: 10.0.10.25
Mask: 255.255.255.128
Gateway: 10.0.10.1

Which of the following MOST likely has an error?

Explanation

A 255.255.255.128 subnet mask creates two /25 networks: 10.0.10.0–10.0.10.127 and 10.0.10.128–10.0.10.255. The database server address, 10.0.10.240, is in the second network, but gateway 10.0.10.1 is in the first. A host’s default gateway must be reachable on its local subnet.
