CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 163

A technician is deploying a new workstation. The workstation uses DHCP and can ping other devices on the same VLAN, but it cannot access anything on a different VLAN. Which of the following steps should the technician perform NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Enable IPv6 on the workstation.
• B. Create a local hosts file.
• C. Examine the DHCP scope configuration.
• D. Configure an APIPA reservation.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because examining the DHCP scope configuration can reveal if there are any issues with the IP address assignments or VLAN settings that could prevent access to other VLANs. The other options do not address the potential configuration issues related to VLAN routing or DHCP settings.
