CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 135

A network administrator logs on to a router and sees an interface with an IP address of 10.61.52.34 255.255.255.252. Which of the following best describes how this interface IP address is being used?

Answer options

• A. As a point-to-point connection
• B. To connect to the internet
• C. As a virtual address for redundancy
• D. For out-of-band management

Correct answer: A

Explanation

This IP address configuration indicates a subnet mask that allows for only two usable addresses, which is typically used for point-to-point connections. The other options do not accurately represent the characteristics of this specific IP address configuration, as it is not suitable for internet connectivity, redundancy, or out-of-band management purposes.
