1)A network administrator is connecting hosts A and B directly through their Ethernet interfaces, as

shown in the illustration. Ping attempts between the hosts are unsuccessful. What can be done to
provide connectivity between the hosts?

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

A crossover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.

A rollover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.192.
A default gateway needs to be set on each host.
The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.0.

A.

1 only

B.

2 only

C.

3 and 4 only

D.

1 and 5 only

E.

2 and 5 only

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
First, if you have two hosts directly connected, as shown in the graphic, then you need a crossover
cable. A straight-through cable won't work. Second, the hosts have different masks, which puts them
in different subnets. The easy solution is just to set both masks to 255.255.255.0 (/24).
