Microsoft AZ-801 Exam - Topic 13 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's AZ-801 exam

Question #: 31
Topic #: 13

Your on-premises network contains two subnets. The subnets contain servers that run Windows Server as shown in the following table.

Server4 has the following IP configurations:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . . :

IPv4 Address . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.10

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

From Server4, you can ping Server1 and Server2 successfully. When you ping Server3, you get a Request timed out response.

From Server2, you can ping Server1 and Server3 successfully.

The misconfiguration of which component on Server3 can cause the Request timed out response?

Adefault gateway

BIP address

Csubnet mask

DDNS server

Nah, I think it's more likely a subnet mask problem.

I'm surprised Server2 can ping Server3 but not Server4!

Wait, could it also be an IP address conflict?

I agree, default gateway seems like the culprit here.

Looks like Server3 might have a default gateway issue.

I recall a practice question where DNS settings caused issues, but in this case, since pinging is involved, I think it's more likely a gateway or IP issue.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the subnet mask could play a role too. If it's not set correctly, it might prevent communication with Server4.

I think it might also be related to the IP address. If Server3 has an incorrect IP, it wouldn't be reachable from Server4.

I remember studying about default gateways and how they can affect connectivity between subnets. If Server3's default gateway is misconfigured, it could explain the timeout.

The key here is that the business case prompts the procurement team to evaluate different options, which can lead to a better decision. I feel good about selecting that answer.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The question is a bit vague, and I'm not familiar with the specific app names. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to utilize the full bandwidth of the 2208XP I/O module, which has 8 uplinks. So the answer must involve using a VIC with 8 ports.

Ah, the joys of network troubleshooting. I'm going to go with the subnet mask too. It's always the simple things that get overlooked, isn't it?

Haha, classic IT blunder. I'm going with B) IP address. Someone probably typed it in wrong and now they're scratching their heads wondering what's going on.

I bet someone on the IT team forgot to update the DNS server settings on Server3. That's just the kind of thing they'd mess up!

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The default gateway seems like a more likely culprit to me. If that's not set up properly, it could definitely cause a 'Request timed out' error.

I think the correct answer is C) subnet mask. If the subnet mask on Server3 is not configured correctly, it could prevent communication with other subnets.
