Question No. 7

A user reports an issue connecting to a database server. The front-end application for this database is hosted on the company's web server. The network engineer has changed the network subnet that the company servers are located on along with the IP addresses of the servers. These are the new

configurations:

  • New subnet for the servers is 10.10.10.64/27
  • Web server IP address is 10.10.10.101
  • Database server IP is 10.10.10.93

Which of the following is most likely causing the user's issue?

Select one option, then reveal solution.

It’s B because if the database server’s firewall wasn’t updated for the new subnet, it might block connections even if IPs look right. That’s an easy miss after changing subnets.

Maybe D. The web server’s IP is outside the 10.10.10.64/27 subnet range, so it probably can’t route traffic correctly to the database server at 10.10.10.93.

I agree that the web server IP is outside the given subnet range, since a /27 subnet from 10.10.10.64 only covers IPs up to 10.10.10.95. So, the web server at 10.10.10.101 can’t properly reach the database server at 10.10.10.93 if it’s on a different subnet without proper routing. That makes option D the most likely issue causing the connection failure here.

Option B could be the problem too—if the database server’s firewall wasn’t updated after the IP changes, it might block connections from the new subnet or IPs, stopping the user from connecting.

A/D? The web server might not be forwarding requests properly if it's misconfigured, but the IP issue looks like the main problem here, so D seems more likely. Still, forwarding could be a secondary cause.

D The web server IP being outside the subnet means it can't communicate properly with the database server on 10.10.10.93, so its network setup is definitely wrong here.

Looks like the web server IP 10.10.10.101 isn’t actually in the 10.10.10.64/27 subnet. That range only goes up to 10.10.10.95, so the web server IP might be misconfigured, causing connection issues. I’d go with D.
