You have two servers named Server1 and Server2. Both servers run Windows Server 2012 R2. The
servers are configured as shown in the following table.
The routing table for Server1 is shown in the Routing Table exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
From Server1, you attempt to ping Server2, but you receive an error message as shown in the Error
exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
You need to ensure that you can successfully ping Server2 from Server1.
What should you do on Server1?
A.
Disable Windows Firewall.
B.
Modify the subnet mask.
C.
Modify the DNS settings.
D.
Modify the default gateway settings.
Explanation:
Route is used to view and modify the IP routing table.
Route Print displays a list of current routes that the host knows. Default gateways are important to
make IP routing work efficiently. TCP/IP hosts rely on default gateways for most of their
communication needs with hosts on remote network segments. In this way, individual hosts are
freed of the burden of having to maintain extensive and continuously updated knowledge about
individual remote IP network segments. Only the router that acts as the default gateway needs to
maintain this level of routing knowledge to reach other remote network segments in the larger inter
network. In order for Host A on Network 1 to communicate with Host B on Network 2, Host A first
checks its routing table to see if a specific route to Host B exists. If there is no specific route to Host
B, Host A forwards its TCP/IP traffic for Host B to its own default gateway, IP Router 1.
The Default Gateway specifies the IP address of a router on the local subnet, which the system will
use to access destinations on other networks. If the default gateway settings are not properly
configured, then there can be no successful connection.

What if ICMP echo is disabled in the firewall? Then 100 gateways won’t help you…
It’s really annoying that Miscrosoft are trying to catch you on their wording…

My apologies – I probably missread the question… 🙂 Silly wording…

Petruccio, as it states that Windows Firewall on Server2 is disablet then you packets won’t be dropped. Because on Server1 inboud packets are always welcome in case of standard configuration of Firewall then it has nothing with Windows Firewall at all. Teh only possible from the given option is wrong gateway, because they in different networks.

There is no such standard configuration of Firewall where inbound packets are always welcome.
By default all inbound traffic is blocked. Answer is correct though.

you need to add a route to the 192.168.1.0 network
there is no correct answer listed

type route print on your PC
you see that you have a entry for
0.0.0.0 with a gateway entry for your gateway IP
within the example there is no 0.0.0.0 or gateway address listed. hence your server will not route any traffic outside your local subnet.
D is correct, you need to Modify the default settings to add a gateway
