An employee is having connectivity issues. Why might a network technician try to ping the default gateway from the employee laptop?
- to determine if the laptop address is included in the DNS server
- to verify that an IP address was provided by the DHCP server
- to verify connectivity with the device that provides access to remote networks
- to verify that the SVI interface on the switch is configured correctly
Explanation: The default gateway address is usually the address of the router interface. The router provides access to remote networks, so a successful ping to the default gateway would mean that the laptop is able to communicate with the router.
