CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 61

A user tries to ping 192.168.1.100 from the command prompt on the 192.168.2.101 network but gets the following response: U.U.U.U. Which of the following needs to be configured for these networks to reach each other?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the default gateway is required for devices on one network to communicate with devices on a different network. The other options, such as Network address translation and Routing protocol, are not directly needed for this type of basic inter-network communication, and Loopback is used for testing local network interfaces, not for routing between different networks.
