After cables were reconnected to a switch in a wiring closet, several PCs that had been previously configured manually can no longer access resources outside the local network. The PC configurations were not altered in the process and resources on the local network can still be accessed. What is a possible cause of the problem?

After cables were reconnected to a switch in a wiring closet, several PCs that had been previously configured manually can no longer access resources outside the local network. The PC configurations were not altered in the process and resources on the local network can still be accessed. What is a possible cause of the problem?

• The PCs are no longer on the correct VLAN.
• The DNS configuration on the PCs is incorrect.
• The DHCP server has been misconfigured.
• The cabling to the PCs is faulty.

Explanation: The PCs have been manually configured and confirmed to be correct, so DHCP and DNS configurations are not factors in this problem. The PCs can still access local resources, so there is not a cabling problem.
