Question 902 of 952
Question
Workstation A has been assigned an IP address of 192.0.2.24/28. Workstation B has been assigned an IP address of 192.0.2.100/28. The two workstations are connected with a straight-through cable. Attempts to ping between the hosts are unsuccessful. What two things can be done to allow communications between the hosts? (Choose two)
Answers
AB
To specify when we use crossover cable or straight-through cable, we should remember:
Group 1: Router, Host, Server -
Group 2: Hub, Switch -
One device in group 1 + One device in group 2: use straight-through cable
Two devices in the same group: use crossover cable
-> To connect two hosts we must use crossover cable -> A is correct.
With the subnet mask of /28, 192.0.2.24 & 192.0.2.100 will be in different subnets (192.0.2.24 belongs to subnet 192.0.2.16/28; 192.0.2.100 belongs to subnet
192.0.2.96). To make them in the same subnet we need more space for host. Because 100 < 128 so we the suitable subnet should be /25.
