Exam 220-1101 Topic 3 Question 221 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1101 exam
Question #: 221
Topic #: 3
A user with a self-configured, static IP address cannot connect to the internet. The technician runs an ipconfig command and receives the following output:

Which of the following should the technician edit?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The correct answer is D. Default gateway.
A default gateway is the device that connects a local network to other networks, such as the internet. A default gateway is usually a router or a modem that has an IP address on the same subnet as the local network. A default gateway is necessary for a device to communicate with devices outside its local network.
In this case, the user has a self-configured, static IP address of 192.168.1.20, which belongs to the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 (with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). However, the default gateway is set to 192.168.0.1, which belongs to a different subnet (192.168.0.0/24). This means that the user's device cannot reach the default gateway, and therefore cannot connect to the internet.
The technician should edit the default gateway to match the correct subnet of the user's device, such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254, depending on the configuration of the network.
