CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 145

An application server cannot communicate with a newly installed database server. The database server, which has static IP information, is reading the following output from ipconfig:

IP: 10.0.10.240 -

Mask: 255.255.255.128 -

Gateway: 10.0.10.1 -

The application server is reading the following output from ipconfig:

IP: 10.0.10.25 -

Mask: 255.255.255.128 -

Gateway: 10.0.10.1 -

Which of the following MOST likely contains an error?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The IP address for the database server is 10.0.10.240, while the application server has 10.0.10.25. Both devices are on the same subnet (255.255.255.128), but the application server's IP address is valid within the subnet, while the database server's IP address does not match the expected range for proper communication. Therefore, the issue is likely with the IP address configuration of the database server. The DHCP, Gateway, and Subnet mask are set correctly.
