A network administrator is connecting PC hosts A and B directly through their Ethernet interfaces
as shown in the graphic. Ping attempts between the hosts are unsuccessful. What can be done to
provide connectivity between the hosts? (Choose two.)
A.
A crossover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
B.
A rollover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
C.
The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.192
D.
A default gateway needs to be set on each host.
E.
The hosts must be reconfigured to use private IP addresses for direct connections of this type.
F.
The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.0
Crossover cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly.
It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type: e.g. two computers (via network interface controller) or two switches to each other.
