QuestionQ53

Server hardware installation and management

A server technician is setting the IP address on a newly installed server. The documented configuration calls for an IP address of 10.20.10.15 and a default gateway of 10.20.10.254. Which of the following subnet masks is appropriate for this configuration?

Explanation

A 255.255.255.0 subnet mask creates the 10.20.10.0/24 network, which includes both 10.20.10.15 and 10.20.10.254 as usable host addresses. A host and its default gateway must reside on the same local IP subnet.
