Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. ipconfig Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : example.com IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
Refer to the exhibit. A user reports that they cannot access the internet. Based on the output, which of the following is the MOST likely issue?
⚠ Common exam trap
The FC0-U61 exam often tests the distinction between local connectivity (IP/subnet valid) and gateway reachability; the trap here is that candidates see a valid IP and subnet and assume the problem is DNS-related, ignoring the failed ping to the default gateway.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The router at 192.168.1.1 is down
The default gateway 192.168.1.1 is unreachable, as shown by the 100% packet loss in the ping output. Without a functional gateway, traffic cannot be routed from the local subnet to external networks, so internet access fails even if the local IP configuration is valid.
