PK0-005 Practice Question: The project manager is reviewing the network…
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. Network configuration: interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description Link to Core ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 duplex full speed 1000 no shutdown ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 description Link to Backup ip address 10.10.20.1 255.255.255.0 duplex full speed 1000 no shutdown !
The project manager is reviewing the network configuration for a new branch office. The configuration shows two interfaces. Which of the following is a project management concern regarding this configuration?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates may focus on technical misconfigurations like IP conflicts or speed/duplex mismatches, but the question asks for a project management concern, which is about ensuring availability and meeting business requirements, not just fixing low-level technical errors.
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
✓
There is no redundancy protocol for default gateway failover.
The network configuration shows two interfaces, likely representing a dual-homed or multi-homed setup. Without a redundancy protocol such as HSRP, VRRP, or GLBP, there is no automatic failover for the default gateway, meaning a single link or router failure would cause a loss of connectivity for the branch office. This is a project management concern because it impacts network availability and business continuity, which should be addressed in the project requirements.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The IP addresses are on the same subnet, causing a conflict.
Why it's wrong here
They are on different subnets: .0 and .20.
- ✓
There is no redundancy protocol for default gateway failover.
Why this is correct
Without HSRP/VRRP, if one link fails, traffic may be lost.
- ✗
The speed and duplex settings are mismatched.
Why it's wrong here
Both are set to 1000 full, so no mismatch.
- ✗
The description is misspelled.
Why it's wrong here
Misspelling does not affect functionality.
