A workstation is unable to connect to the internet. The technician runs the 'ipconfig' command and sees the IPv4 address is 169.254.15.200 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The workstation can ping other devices on the local subnet but cannot ping the default gateway or any external addresses. Which TWO actions should the technician take to resolve this issue? (Select two.)

A workstation is connected to a managed switch. It obtains a valid IP address (192.168.10.50) from the DHCP server, but it cannot ping the default gateway (192.168.10.1). The link light on both the workstation NIC and the switch port are solid green. Other workstations on the same switch CAN ping the default gateway successfully. The technician accesses the switch management interface and finds that the workstation's port is configured as an access port on VLAN 10. The default gateway is located on VLAN 20. An inter-VLAN router is configured but not explicitly allowing VLAN 10 access to VLAN 20. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the problem?

A company hosts its e-commerce website on a public cloud platform. During the holiday shopping season, traffic increases dramatically. The cloud platform automatically adds more virtual server instances to handle the increased load and then removes them when traffic returns to normal. Which cloud computing characteristic does this scenario BEST describe?

A company is developing a custom application that requires a specific Linux kernel version and full root access to install and configure third-party security modules. The company wants to minimize the management of physical infrastructure but needs complete control over the operating system environment, including the ability to modify kernel parameters. The cloud provider will be responsible for all underlying hardware and the hypervisor. Which cloud service model should the company choose?

A company deploys a stateless web application on multiple virtual machines in a public cloud behind a load balancer. The application experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. During a spike, the load balancer distributes requests evenly, but users report that they are randomly logged out or lose session data such as shopping cart contents. The application is designed to store session state locally on each server. Which of the following should the administrator implement to resolve this issue?

A network administrator configures a router with VLANs. Devices on VLAN 10 can successfully ping a web server (IP 192.168.20.10) on VLAN 20. However, when users on VLAN 10 attempt to access the web server via a browser using its IP address, the connection times out. The router's ACLs permit ICMP and TCP/80 traffic between VLANs. Which of the following should the administrator check NEXT?

A network technician is troubleshooting a connectivity issue. Users on VLAN 10 (192.168.10.0/24) can access the internet but cannot reach a server on VLAN 20 (192.168.20.0/24) by IP address. The router's ACL allows all traffic between VLANs. The technician pings the server IP from a client on VLAN 10 and gets a request timed out. The technician then checks the routing table on the router and sees routes for both VLANs. Which of the following is the NEXT step to isolate the issue?

A network technician configures a managed switch with two VLANs: VLAN 10 for workstations and VLAN 20 for servers. A workstation on VLAN 10 can ping its default gateway (192.168.10.1), and a server on VLAN 20 can ping its default gateway (192.168.20.1). However, the workstation cannot ping the server's IP address (192.168.20.10). All switch ports are configured as access ports in their respective VLANs, and the default gateways are correctly assigned. Which of the following is MOST likely needed to allow this communication?

A network administrator recently installed a new firewall to replace an older router. After the installation, users can access the internet but cannot reach internal web servers by hostname (e.g., http://intranet). They can, however, access those servers by IP address. The administrator verifies that the DNS server is functioning and other traffic between the LAN and the internal server VLAN is allowed. What is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

A network printer is set to a static IP address. Users report that print jobs spool on their workstations but never print. The technician confirms the printer is powered on, the network cable is connected, and the printer's self-test page prints successfully. The technician can ping the printer's IP address from a workstation. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue?

A network technician is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity issues on a small office network. The issue only occurs for a few minutes at a time, and users lose access to both internal servers and the internet. During the issue, the technician can ping the default gateway from the core switch but not from the router. The router logs show multiple 'Duplicate IP address' errors for the router's LAN interface. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

A network printer with a static IP address of 192.168.1.100/24 is unreachable from all workstations on the same subnet. The technician can successfully ping the printer's IP address. The printer's web interface loads when accessed from a browser, but shows the status as 'Offline.' Print jobs sent from workstations remain in the queue with a 'printing' status and are never printed. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

A network laser printer prints garbled pages when receiving print jobs from one specific user's computer, but prints correctly from all other computers on the same network. The printer has a static IP address and is connected via an unmanaged switch. The technician can ping the printer from the affected computer without any packet loss. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

A network technician is configuring a router-on-a-stick for inter-VLAN routing. The router has one physical interface (G0/0) connected to a managed switch. The technician creates subinterfaces G0/0.10 for VLAN 10 (192.168.10.1/24) and G0/0.20 for VLAN 20 (192.168.20.1/24). The switch port connected to the router is configured as a trunk allowing VLANs 10 and 20. On a workstation in VLAN 10, the technician can ping the gateway 192.168.10.1 but cannot ping the gateway 192.168.20.1. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

A network technician is troubleshooting an issue where users in the Sales department cannot access a file server located in the Engineering department. The network consists of multiple switches connected via fiber optic cables. The technician verifies that the file server is online and can be pinged by its IP address from a Sales workstation. However, when attempting to access the file server by its hostname (\\fileserver\share), the access fails. Which of the following should the technician check FIRST?
