CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 211

After installing an OS on a new server, the administrator realizes the server does not have any network connectivity. The administrator checks the network cable, and it seems to be transferring data. Which of the following should be checked next?

Answer options

• A. NIC firmware
• B. IPv4 options
• C. DHCP options
• D. Firewall options
• E. DNS settings

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as checking the IPv4 options is crucial to ensure that the server has a valid IP configuration, which is essential for network connectivity. The other options, while important in different contexts, do not directly address the immediate need to verify the server's IP settings for connectivity.
