Computer 1 is consoles into switch A. Telnet connections and pings run from the command prompt on switch A fail. Which of the following could cause this problem?
A.

B.
switch A does not have an IP address
C.

D.
switch A is not directly connected to router JAX
E.
switch A does not have a default gateway assigned
Proper English please….
I can hardly make out this question.

It’s a hard question to answer although it looks simple! From the output above we are sure that switch A does not have an IP address (on both Fa0/1 and on VLAN 1) so it can not ping or telnet to any other device -> B is correct.
Another answer seems to be correct is answer E – switch A does not have a default gateway assigned. We know that Switch A can not telnet to other device outside its subnet without having a default gateway. But the question only says “Telnet connections and pings run from the command prompt on switch A fail” without telling us where Switch A is trying to telnet or ping to. If it tries to connect to the outside network then E is correct. If it only want to connect to a device inside its subnet then a default gateway is not necessary.
So the best answer for this question is B!
