An administrator has configured two hosts as follows:
HOST A
IP 192.168.3.100
NETMASK 255.255.254.0
GATEWAY 192.168.2.1
HOSTB
IP 192.168.1.200
NETMASK 255.255.254.0
GATEWAY 192.168.2.1
Which of the following MUST be changed in order to allow HOST A to talk to HOST B?
A.
HOST B netmask to 255.255.252.0
B.
HOST A netmask to 255.255.255.0
C.
HOST A IP address to192.168.2.100
D.
HOST B IP address to192.168.2.200
I don’t think any of these answers are correct.
If anything, Answer C should be changed to 192.168.1.100.
That would put it on the same subnet as Host B’s 192.168.1.200
Subnet Mask: 255.255.254.0 = /23
Network ID: 192.168.0.0
First Host: 192.168.0.1
Last Host: 192.168.1.254
Broadcast IP: 192.168.1.255
# of Hosts: 510
Notice our last host is 192.168.1.254?
So answers C & D are in a different subnet whose network ID is 192.168.2.0
