You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. Server1 has the following routing table.
What will occur when Server1 attempts to connect to a host that has an IP address of 172.20.10.50?
A. Server1 will attempt to connect directly to 172.20.10.50.
B. Server1 will route the connection to 10.10.0.2.
C. Server1 will silently drop the connection attempt.
D. Server1 will route the connection to 192.168.2.1.

The correct answer is: A.
172.16.0.0 with subnetmask 255.240.0.0
1111 1111.1111 0000.0000 0000.0000 0000
From all the bits in the subnetmask that are “1”, take bit at the most right side. This one has a decimal value of 16.
So, the next network id is: 172.16+16.0.0 = 172.32.0.0
172.20.10.50 fits in network 172.16.0.0 and will therefor be delivered straight to the ip address.

There are no routes for 172.20.10.50 (172.0.0.0/8 or 172.20.0.0/16 or 172.20.10.50/24 p.e) so basically it will go through the 0.0.0.0. The answer is correct, C, using the first route 0.0.0.0

Am I retardeD? huehue, didn’t read your answer musisam, you were correct, in this example the answer is A as you said, same network. Just came from a VCE file and did not remember if the option for 172.16 got that mask. Sorry =)! Have a nice day! Study hard :p
